**Writing a Town Meeting Resolution**

1. Every resolution must have a title, three or more “whereas” clauses, and one or more “resolved clauses. Each resolution should carry the pseudonym/name of the submitter(s).

2. “Whereas” clauses explain the rationale for the resolution and provide supporting information and specific background as to why this is a pertinent, current issue. These provide background for discussion at the Town Meeting. They may include such things as the reason something is a problem, statements of timeliness/urgency, descriptions of current conditions, etc.

3. “Resolved” clauses should contain specific action items. They should direct the Town Meeting to do something in response to the ‘Whereas’ conditions.

The structure of resolutions is as follows:

**Title of Resolution: fight the British, for independence and freedom**

__ **Authors:** __**_Noah/Artemas Ward Rina/Sam Adams Sarah/Abigail Adams Stav/Thomas Paine Shachar/Thomas Mifflin**

**__Whereas__ we came here for freedom, not to fall back under the British.**

** __Whereas__ we want democracy where every voice is equal. **

__ **By it hereby resolved that we should start a revolution/war against the British, by arranging a boot camp for soldiers and gathering army generals to start planning our first steps towards war!!!** __
