The government was based on the Bill of Rights, and we tried, but didn t always succeed, in following the Ten Commandments. The citizens had responsibilities to vote and to be law-abiding and there were things like police and fire departments and town councils to keep things organized in our communities. This is how the people wanted it to be on Mars when they first settled there in the year 2030. But they also realized that, back on Earth, the United States was far from perfect. There were many dishonest people who smoked and did drugs.
Different communities didn t always have peace.
There was prejudice and discrimination and people did not always get along. Stores were robbed and people were killed every day. There were homeless people everywhere. None of the new settlers on Mars wanted it to be like that, although they did want to follow the Bill of Rights and the Ten Commandments. When we first came to Mars, people had constant disagreements on how to run the new community.
