The Issue

King can do no wrong" principle:

It originated from British common law and is based on the idea that the government cannot be held accountable for its actions. 

 

Too often we see laws and constitutional rights being violated, leaving us with no recourse for justice. I myself was a victim of these transgressions. Let's stop this oppression together by addressing a fundamental inequity within our justice system — the concept of sovereign immunity for government employees. Our government is only as effective and accountable as those who serve within it. However, there exists a disturbing disparity between the legal standards applied to government employees and those applied to civilians. This inequality often protects public servants from the consequences of their actions, even when they are clearly in the wrong.

The doctrine of sovereign immunity, which shields government employees from lawsuits and claims, is a relic from British monarchy law, designed to prevent subjects from holding the sovereign accountable. In today's society, this principle is outdated and unjust. It fundamentally challenges our democratic values by allowing a tier of individuals to operate with near-impunity.

By abolishing sovereign immunity for government employees, we can ensure that all individuals, regardless of their position, are held accountable for their actions. This will not only foster greater transparency and integrity but also restore public trust in our institutions. Individuals who have suffered injustice at the hands of the government deserve an avenue for redress, just as they would expect when dealing with private citizens.

The time has come to take bold steps in leveling the playing field and restoring faith in our legal system. Urge our legislators to remove this archaic and unjust protection and hold all citizens equally accountable under the law. Your support can help end this inequality and pave the way for a fairer society with accountability and justice for all. Please sign this petition to call for the removal of sovereign immunity protections for government employees.
