| - The Mostly Harmless Alliance has a history of representative democracy, a powerful voice of the people, and respect for all Hitchhikers. Throughout many different Charters and Documents, the MHA has lived to serve its people, and its people to govern the alliance. In the beginning, our Founders JimmyK, VinnyP, and R11ch established that a democratically elected council of five Senators governed the Alliance; whose decisions and votes were viewable for all members to see and discuss. In creating MHA, they established an alliance that was run for the people - by the people.

| - The Mostly Harmless Alliance has a history of representative democracy, a powerful voice of the people, and respect for all Hitchhikers. Throughout many different Charters and Documents, the MHA has lived to serve its people, and its people to govern the alliance. In the beginning, our Founders JimmyK, VinnyP, and R11ch established that a democratically elected council of five Senators governed the Alliance; whose decisions and votes were viewable for all members to see and discuss. In creating MHA, they established an alliance that was run for the people - by the people. The Harmless Revolution came in November 2007, as decreed by the people once more. This changed the Government of the alliance to a council of three Triumvirs with five Ministers; but the democracy remained the same. Our Government became organized, efficient, and broad; operations were stream lined and the people's voice was strengthened even more. Through the empowerment of the Third Revolution, the MHA Court, a sound legal system and Judicial Body guarded the people, lead by three independently elected Court Officers. Further improvements saw the initiation of an Ombudsman, a completely independent position to liaise between the people, the Government, and the Court, to ensure the will of the people was protected. Throughout these changes, however, a need for organization, moderation, and system for our Hoopy Democracy became prevalent. And from that need, the Hitchhiker's Assembly was formed. A formal organizational body to Legislate and represent the alliance. Through the Assembly, the Hitchhiker's voices were once again promoted, making it simpler for them to enact change and pass motions, and the creation of two new positions to ensure their voice was heard. The Speaker of the Assembly, powered by the people to organize and manage our democracy and enact all Assembly decisions; and the Legislator, responsible for maintaining and protecting the Charters - appointed to give the Assembly the guidance and organization that democracy needs to be effective. The following document outlines the current purpose, elections, procedure, and powers of the Hitchhiker's Assembly and the Judicial Body.
