[FearfulJesuit]

I. A dwarf has the right to life, liberty and property, unless of course he shall strike magma, or be killed by goblins, or be a noble and suffer an Unfortunate Accident; moreover he has all right to his property unless it is a sock on a battlefield. A dwarf seemingly has the right to go on break at any time for any reason.
II. The government of a fortress is generally reckoned to be a social contract between the nobles and the player, wherein the player shall let the noble live only if the noble makes no stupid mandates, and if this is broken the player has the right to make the noble suffer an unfortunate accident.
III. A dwarf has the right not to be prosecuted, unless he trades something away he didn't know couldn't be. In the event that a dwarf suffers a punishment without good reason, his punishment shall be inflicted on the noble in the form of an Unfortunate Accident.
