Re: What political philosophy would work best in your ideal society?

Assuming you created a society, what political philosophy would you use and why?Or would you create one of your own? If so, what would it be like?
The political philosophy i'd use would be to encourage every man woman a child, no matter the ilk, to commit to all and especially the most effective forms of public service for the betterment of human and land. I wouldn't force it on them as an obligatory statue but remind them that it is their birthright.
I'd severely penalize corruption (ending slaps on the wrists for the rich) and consolidate bureaucracy so that red tape isn't an issue. I'd aggressively encourage business ethics and make it taboo to commit any wrongdoings of that type. I'd also encourage corporations to serve as beacons and examples of benefiting society and land being that they singularly have the most resources. Again. Not by force. Nature will force then to do so though. They'll see how other corporations benefit from benefiting society and will follow suit. There's more and i know my vision sounds socialist and utopic but i see my society seamlessly meshing all there economies (comm. socialist and capitalist) into a nice well oiled machine unlike what we have now, that benefits everyone involved and not just the top few.
Lower chamber: Democracy
Upper chamber: Meritocracy
Monarch representing constitution.
Constitution:
1. No one shall take anyone's right to live
2. No one shall force anyone to do something against their will
3. No one shall steal anyone's money, property, or anything else they earned.
4. Anyone can be a member of government
5. Monarch must only represent the connstitution
6. Government, Millitary etc. shall be subjects to Monarch and Constitution
7. All criminals shall be rehabilitated only! How they are rehabilitated, is up to the rehabilitators.
(applies to everyone: members of government as well as citezins and the monarch)
That's a draft anyway.

dude, no
karla homolka wasn't rehabilitated, she got out on a plea bargain and remains an embarassment to the Canadian justice system.
even if she doesn't kill or rape again, she poses an unreasonable threat to the population. That people keep giving her picture to the media probably helps prevent that as well.
oh... homolka drugged her sister to let bernardo take her virginity... remember, she wasn't rehabilitated, she played the justice system.
and she has an ECE degree.
