A sociopolitical information system for a new constitution
Our objective in this paper is to apply our "Conceptual Development of a Sociopolitical Information System": SPIS (Callaos, 1976b) by means of the Mathematical Solution to the Voter Paradox and an Internet-based Group Decision Support System, to order to make a conceptual design of a system oriented to support the process of a National Constitution creation. SPIS conceptual feasibility was proven in 1976, (Callaos, 1976b); technological feasibility was provided by information technologies (Personal Computers, client/server architectures and hypermedia); and economic and logistic feasibility becomes a reality with the generalized use of Internet specially its web technology. We will retake in this paper a research we have done a long time ago, because due to the accelerating widespread of internet use, the emergence of new information technologies it becomes feasible to construct a system based on such a research. Likewise, the National Constitution Creation Process in Venezuela provides an unusual opportunity for such a system. In this paper we will center in the issue of Collective Decision Making, because it is at the heart of any National Constitution creation.
