Venezuela's Supreme Court has banned the Attorney General from leaving the country and frozen all of her assets.
When the power of the state deviates from its power base, the people should exercise their right as holders of sovereignty and take control. Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution which does not brook resistance is not a constitution. When a president’s actions are unlawful, the people have the right to resist. Venezuelans should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. The president should be limited to one 5-year term with no eligibility to run again for 6 years afterwards. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
