| ==Letter to Talos==
| |
| My dear fellow,
| |
|
| |
| Enclosed, my notes on a monograph I have been irregularly working on. I would appreciate your input on them.
| |
|
| |
| In addition, if I do not return from my latest escapade, I wanted to entrust them to you. Speak to Douglas Matthews-Highgate for the names of others with whom you might wish to consult. Fair thee well.
| |
|
| |
| Begin notes: "On the rights and duties of non-human citizens of Her Majesty's Empire"
| |
|
| |
| Talos would notice that the notes assume all humans are treated identically to each other, unless specific legal circumstances, such as noble titles or government appointments specify otherwise. A bit of equality-for-all-humans, regardless of race, religion, gender, etc, snuck in the back door.
| |
|
| |
| The assertion of identity on the part of an individual is the fundamental act in the establishment of legal rights and duties. For instance 'My name is X, and I am a resident of Q, a village in Ashire, and I am a subject of Her Majesty.'
| |
|
| |
| "We are accustomed to treat anyone who appears to be an adult human as a fully competent and self sufficient individual. To strip such a person of their rights requires legal proceedings of one sort or another, during which the presumption is that the person is legally competent, until proven otherwise. Individuals who do not resemble adult humans, including but not limited to those who resemble children, talking animals, animal-like humanoids, non-terrestrial beings both humanoid and non, clockwork automata, fairies, demons, angels, and hybridized beings, but who are nevertheless capable of asserting their citizenship, should be assumed to be sapient, sentient, ensouled, and competent until proven otherwise."
