Emperor of the Federation or something similar or to prevent a collection
of worlds from effectively raping and pillaging some other world.
True, but that's the point. The division of powers in the Federation would
be clearly spelt out. Jurisdictional disputes often result because the
constititution (in Canada) is unclear who has admin- istration in certain
areas. I think the Federation Charter would clearly spell out how the
Federation government is organized and the division of responsibilities
with the planetary governments. Since the planetary governments already
exist when a new world joins the Federation, they would have to agree which
powers they are willing to give up. I don't think that it would vary by
planet. Each member world would be treated the same way. I think that new
worlds that are joining want a clear document. It is through loopholes and
uncertainties in a vague constitution that would allow the dictator to
arise and declare himself emperor or to have the "dictatorship of the
majority" (which in a nutshell is the situation in Canada actually).
