Basic language stating that the punishment should be proportionate to the crime sounds good to me.

I shall add this provision in the next edit.

On a related note, who determines the sentence?

I have updated it accordingly. It now includes a new section (Section 12) which states:

[cell]
[align=left] Section 12. Guilt and Sentencing

(1) No person may be found guilty of a crime not listed in this act.

(2) If found guilty of a crime, the Delegate shall impose upon the person a punishment proportionate to the offence.[/align]
[/cell]

Updated version

I hate to be difficult, but I don't suppose it could be changed to:

"the Delegate may impose upon the person any punishment proportionate to the offence."

which better reflects the requirement in my proposal for a punishment "permitted by law" and maintains the Delegate's common-sense veto?
