The trial shall be accomplished with an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. Law shall ascertain the district. An impartial jury is defined as a jury composed of peers of the defendant. All Inhabitants shall be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation.

Self-Determination (“Pursuit of Happiness”) Within the Law
No government shall tell any Citizen what job they must perform.
Any person working for the Military does not have the full Right of Self-Determination. They have given up part of that right to follow the orders given them by the Military. They regain full rights upon exit from the Military.
This right is the one most open to latitude on the part of the Courts. It will be difficult to get the application of this Right correct under the law. One caution to the Courts is not to be deluded into thinking that this Right overbears other Rights. The Courts are prohibited from falling into the trap of allowing the Tragedy of the Commons in order to provide the self-determination right to a Citizen.
