'''Wiki-Law, ''the legal resource anyone can edit'''''. Initially stylised as '''Wikilaw''', its goal was to build the largest {{tag|open content}} legal resource in the [[:Category:Earth|world]]. It was subsequently modified: "Wiki-Law's mission is to be a resource to the {{tag|United States of America|US}} legal community". Please contribute to the Wiki-Treatises, Wiki-Motions, Wiki-Law-Dictionary, Wiki-Law-Articles, and Democracy 2.0.

;''Wiki Democracy
 
Wiki Democracy (previously 'Democracy 2.0') is a Wikilaw experiment that hypothesizes that a wide range of individuals, not just {{tag|Political|politicians}} and {{tag|special interest}} groups, can contribute to the creation of our nation's laws. All laws listed in this section are the collaborative effort of the Wiki Democracy community. The site aggregates the viewpoints of all users, after a large number of edits, to reach a [[consensus]] on what laws society should impose on us. Wiki Democracy hyopthesizes that collaboration through a [[wiki]] will filter social norms, transform these social norms into legislation, which in turn will produce superior laws to govern {{tag|society}}.
