Journal Colonization

As we approach 2020-2030, both NASA and private companies have planned to colonize Mars.  The goal from both avenues of space exploration (NASA and private) is eventually to have citizens of Earth live on Mars.  Develop a list of 10 Mars Bills of Rights (serve and protect individual rights) specific to the new colonization of Mars. Explain what each Bill of Right means to the citizens of Mars.

1- Name of the leadership role- name can be made up and/or related to Mars

2- Description of the leadership role- What does this leader do to help develop Mars with expectations and regulations?

3- Why is this leadership role needed on Mars?
