What laws would have to change if citizens are to be conscripted into government?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24986points) August 7th, 2022

Not just the military, jury duty, and community service?

Humor welcome.

I think the US already has it covered!!! For the military, they draft you into their service. We’re already required to serve jury duty. IF you’re arrested & convicted, you can be forced into community service. I’m NOT that familiar with Canada, but I doubt that they are that far behind us in conscripting those they think they need!!!

@LadyMarissa Thanks. I would like to add that it is not limited to executive positions (Prime minister, President ect.), but any public service position. Like street sweepers, and administration jobs. From labor shortages.

I have to think you’d need to apply the draft to women too, which would require a new law. After that simple adjustment, you’d have to convince the courts and the people that this wasn’t militant nationalism, but benign, enforced, public service, merely operating under military pretenses.
