I'm thinking about this one. It is interesting but the possible weakness, as I see it, is that in general, very few nations in Particracy allow slavery, which seems to reduce the case for having a separate set of laws for cases where slavery is legal.

I'm wondering about the possibility of somehow amending the current options on The legality of slavery to take account of the fact that under some slavery systems, there are laws on how slaves can be treated, whereas under other slavery systems, slaves have no legal protections at all.

BTW a further relevant factor in reviewing the slavery laws is that we have a "Prisoners of war are enslaved" option on The government's policy regarding the treatment of prisoners of war law.

Let me know what you think, everyone. And remember, of course, that mine isn't the only voice that is important here. Creating the laws is meant to be a collective effort, arrived at through general consensus as much as reasonably possible.
