The Constitutional Conservatives are a major political party in the United States, founded in 2038 as a response to rapid technological and social changes during the Great Transition Era. Committed to preserving traditional American governance principles and limiting the role of artificial intelligence in government, the party represents the conservative wing of 2080 American politics.

History

Formation (2038)

The Constitutional Conservatives emerged from the fragmentation of the traditional Republican Party, uniting conservatives who felt overwhelmed by the pace of change following Hurricane Helena and the rise of AI governance. The party was founded at a convention in Austin, Texas, by politicians, constitutional scholars, and grassroots activists concerned about preserving American democratic traditions.

The founding principle was simple: "The Constitution worked for 250 years - it can work for 250 more."

The Resistance Years (2038-2050)

During its first decade, the Constitutional Conservatives positioned themselves as the primary opposition to rapid technological integration:

• Opposed the AI Rights Amendment
• Challenged the Universal Basic Algorithm in federal courts
• Advocated for the Human Decision-Making Protection Act
• Led efforts to limit AI involvement in electoral processes

The Adaptation Period (2050-2070)

As AI integration became inevitable, the party evolved to focus on ensuring human oversight and constitutional limits:

• Supported the AI Oversight Commission
• Championed the Human Veto Amendment - requiring human approval for all AI decisions
• Advocated for strict constitutional interpretation in space territory governance
• Led efforts to maintain traditional state structures despite climate migration

Modern Conservatives (2070-Present)

Today's Constitutional Conservatives have adapted to 2080's realities while maintaining core principles:

• Accept AI assistance but demand human control
• Support space colonization under traditional territorial governance
• Advocate for voluntary participation in post-scarcity systems
• Champion individual liberty in an increasingly collective world

Core Ideology

Constitutional Originalism

The party believes the Constitution's original principles remain relevant and should guide modern governance:

• Strict interpretation of federal powers and state rights
• Opposition to constitutional changes that fundamentally alter government structure
• Belief that the Founders' wisdom applies to new technologies and challenges
• Support for judicial restraint in interpreting laws

Limited Government

Constitutional Conservatives advocate for minimal government intervention in citizens' lives:

• Decentralized governance - more power to states and local communities
• Opposition to federal overreach in climate adaptation and resource distribution
• Support for private sector solutions to technological and environmental challenges
• Skepticism of large-scale government programs like Universal Basic Resources

Human Primacy

The party maintains that humans, not AI systems, should make all crucial decisions:

• Human oversight required for all AI government functions
• Opposition to AI systems having independent decision-making authority
• Support for opt-out provisions from AI-mediated services
• Advocacy for human-first policies in employment and governance

Policy Positions

AI Governance

• Support AI as tools only - never as decision-makers
• Advocate for mandatory human review of all AI recommendations
• Oppose AI voting or independent policy analysis
• Support right to human service - options for non-AI government interaction

Space Policy

• Support space colonization under traditional territorial governance
• Oppose full statehood for space colonies until they meet population thresholds
• Advocate for constitutional requirements before granting space representation
• Support private space development over government-led programs

Resource Distribution

• Support voluntary participation in Universal Basic Resources
• Advocate for private alternatives to government resource systems
• Oppose mandatory participation in Contribution Economy
• Support merit-based allocation of scarce luxury resources

Climate Policy

• Support adaptation over prevention - focus on managing change rather than stopping it
• Advocate for state-led climate response rather than federal mandates
• Support private sector innovation in climate technology
• Oppose climate policies that restrict individual mobility or choice

Traditional Values

• Support family-centered social policies
• Advocate for religious freedom protections in AI-mediated society
• Promote local community decision-making over federal programs
• Support cultural preservation for traditional American communities

Electoral Strategy

The Constitutional Conservatives build support through:

Core Philosophy

"Proven Principles"

The party argues that constitutional principles that guided America through previous crises can handle modern challenges:

• The Constitution's flexibility allowed it to adapt to industrialization, world wars, and the digital age
• Human wisdom and democratic processes are superior to algorithmic solutions
• Individual liberty and limited government remain the best path to prosperity

"Human-Centered Governance"

Constitutional Conservatives believe governance should prioritize human judgment:

• AI can inform decisions but never make them
• Communities know their needs better than distant algorithms
• Traditional democratic processes ensure accountability and representation

Opposition and Criticism

Critics argue that the Constitutional Conservatives:

• Resist necessary adaptations to climate change and technological progress
• Favor wealthy individuals over community needs in resource distribution
• Misunderstand how AI can improve government efficiency and fairness
• Cling to outdated solutions for unprecedented challenges

The party's main opponents are the Progressive Alliance, who view Constitutional Conservative policies as obstacles to necessary change, and the Techno-Federalists, who believe technology should play a larger role in governance.
