Long Long ago there was a small blue dot in a vast dark space. On that blue planet live a large red dragon named Mars, and that dragon had always wanted to fly somewhere new, but could never find a place to fly. One day many people gathered around Mars and asked, “Why don’t you use your wings to fly and explore?”
“Alas,” said the great red dragon, “there is nowhere for me to go.” This made Mars very sad, and being a dragon his sorrow turned to anger. He opened his large mouth a spit out a jet of dazzling red flames into the vast dark space. The flames were so bright that they lit up the surrounding darkness and illuminated many different planets. Amazed Mars stared into the bright unexplored space.
 One planet, in particular, caught the dragon’s eye. A bright planet that glowed not too far away and appeared to be the same shade of ruby red as his shiny scales.
“I am going to go there,” he told the people, “I will use my fire to light the way to the new planet!” As he spread his wings and was about to set off into the great unknown when many people ran to him begging him to take them along.
“We wish to join you,” one said, “We could keep you company and help you on your journey.” Mars thought about this for a moment. The people had been very kind to him and would want to see and explore the new world too. . .
Finally, he made his decision, “ You may join me and together we will discover the new world!” He exclaimed. The people cheered and one by one they crawled onto the gigantic beast’s back until no one else could fit. Then he spread his enormous wings and took to the sky.
As they entered the darkness the dragon shot another dazzling flame into the distance and brightened the galaxy. Burning white stars shimmered alongside them and black space rocks hurtled past.
They finally reached the red planet and were amazed by its beauty. They stood on soft red rock sand and stared at swirling crimson clouds. Everyone was speechless even Mars was stunned. Finally, someone spoke, “What should we call this place?”
“I know!” Said another, “ In honor of our great friend who brought us to this wondrous place, we should name this planet Mars!” Everyone loved the idea and agreed to name the red planet Mars.
Mars was very flattered by this but knew that he wanted to see the other planets and could not stay. The people understood, but when he asked if they wanted to join them they said that they were already fond of the red planet and wanted to stay. So Mars spread his great wings and flew into the dark illuminating the space with his fire. From that day forward the dragon would keep exploring the galaxy, but his favorite planet would forever be Mars.

New Life on Mars

If people were sent to mars there would have to be laws like there are on Earth. Since the future Martians will rely heavily on our home planet for their resources and their lives I believe that they would use many of the same laws we do.

The Bill of Rights for the citizens would protect many of the same rights that it does today on Eath, although some of the content wouldn't apply on Mars. Therefore I believe that these would be the ten rights are the most important rights of the citizens on Mars:

1. The freedom of speech-
Even though the Martians are millions of miles away they should still have the freedom to express themselves and say what they believe.

2. The freedom of religion-
The Martians should also be able to choose their beliefs like we are able to today.

3. The freedom to leave as soon as possible-
Even though the Martians chose to enter the unknown they should have the right to leave when possible, because they don't deserve to be trapped there.

4. The right to a trial from Eath-
Since there will only be a few Martians at first they will all know each other and have opinions of one another, therefore if they are accused of a crime the trial may be unfair. For this reason, they should have the right to communicate with Earth and have a real and fair trial.

5.  The right to a speedy and public trial-
Like Earth, if convicted of a crime they should have the right to a quick and public trial.They should have the right to a fair trial just like us.

6. No cruel or unusual punishment-
If convicted of a serious crime they should not be killed or tortured, but sent back to Earth and put in jail if proven guilty.

7.  No unreasonable search or seizure-
Even though they live and have homes on a whole different planet they are still people and should have privacy. Therefore unless the person searching has a warrant from Earth they are not able to take someone's belongings or property.

8.  The right to bear arms-
On the new planet there will be no law enforcement until later on, therefore the Martians should have the right to own weapons to protect themselves if something goes wrong.

9.  The right to assemble-
They should have the right to assemble peacefully like Eath.


10. Rights retained by the people-
I believe the Martians should have any of the same rights as us here on Earth and should not be dictated over but be controlled enough to have peace.
