In the same manner as the city, each village will have a written constitution that serves as the source of authority for its government. The village government will consist of an elected legislative council, an elected executive council, and a village court. The village will aim to implement direct democracy, as it is feasible within its small community, where all citizens can participate almost directly in both legislative and executive processes.
The village will also strive for complete equality between men and women in both the right to vote and the right to run for office. The primary goal of the village government will be to advance the well-being of its community by all possible means and at the lowest cost. For this reason, the village mosque will serve multiple purposes: as a place of prayer, a village court, a lecture hall, and a meeting place for the legislative council, which may convene only once a year.
In the village, co-educational schooling will be applied at all levels. The school building will also be used at night for adult education to ensure that education reaches everyone in the community.
Like cities, villages organize youth and scouting organizations, leveraging them to serve the community in every way possible. They also promote competition in sports, academics, and the arts with neighboring villages.
The village head (Sheikh) is responsible for maintaining vital records such as births, deaths, and marriages. The Sheikh is elected by residents aged eighteen and above, both men and women, and appoints deputies who assist in carrying out their responsibilities. These deputies are expected, when feasible and beneficial, to act as extensions of central government officials in education, health, agriculture, and other sectors.
The village government, or the Sheikh, oversees village planning and construction to transform it into a model village, ensuring that all facilities are designed with proper engineering. The central government is always responsible for providing technical assistance as needed.
Each village has a court to resolve disputes, with appeals directed to the city’s supreme court. Some villages, like cities, may have a simple police force under the Sheikh’s supervision to maintain security. Villages are administratively affiliated with neighboring cities, and a joint council comprising residents of both the city and its associated villages, is established to coordinate shared activities and initiatives between the city and its rural areas.
The city’s constitution outlines the formation and jurisdiction of this council, prioritizing the development of rural areas to make them attractive for habitation and discourage migration to cities, in the manner we see today. Our aim is to establish the democracy of thriving small towns and populated rural areas, not the democracy of large cities and deserted countryside.
