How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing?

The difference is that the need for a jury of your peers is in the constitution.

Traffic laws are not forced labor. Nor is jail time, that’s a punishment.

I’m starting to think you have no idea what you’re talking about.

They dictate what you do and don’t do. Taxes take a portion of your time as well since you need to work longer. I didn’t see how it’s categorically different. Just a difference of extent.

Kairos · 8M

Yes and that extent is an issue, especially when it goes over the line of what’s allowed in the constitution.

@JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works · 8M

So if a country wrote conscription into their constitution it’d be fine?

Kairos · 8M

No that’s one of two ways its bad

@JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works · 8M

So than what makes conscription too far? Would non military mandatory government service be permissible? How long would that duration need to be in order to be unacceptable?

Kairos · 8M

No that would not be acceptable either. There’s a massive difference between jury duty and military service. Theres frequency/amount, and the basic fact that jury duty is a domestic thing.

So would a one week domestic only draft be acceptable?
