A Law Institutionalizing a Wikipedia-Style Platform for Drafting Proposed Laws
The WikiLegis Act establishes a publicly accessible, Wikipedia-style online platform where citizens, legal experts, government officials, and civil society groups can collaboratively draft proposed laws. Every edit is tracked with full transparency, and discussions are held in a separate “Talk” section for consensus-building.
The platform shall be managed by an independent, non-partisan board composed of representatives from universities, civic organizations, and IT professionals. All users must register with verified identities to ensure accountability while encouraging open, diverse participation.
Once a proposed bill reaches at least 80% completion in form - based on predefined formatting and content guidelines - it may be formally submitted by any citizen directly to any lawmaker, such as a Congressman, Senator, or local legislator, for review and potential enactment into law.
This law redefines democratic participation by turning ordinary citizens into co-authors of legislation, bridging the gap between public voice and actual lawmaking. It promotes transparency, civic education, and responsive governance using the power of collaborative digital tools.
