Martian Bill of Rights

When humans colonize Mars, there will have to be a government in place in order for civilization of Mars to thrive. They will need to protect the rights of the people just like we do here on earth, here is what I believe their rights should be on Mars.
1. The right to self govern; once we have landed on mars and successfully created a stable community, the people on mars should not have to be governed by the people on earth but they should be able to govern themselves.
2. The right to communication with earth; everyone on mars should have a way to communicate with people back on earth no matter who you are you must be able to communicate with the people of earth
3. The right to form independent colonies; all the people on mars should be able to break of from the main group and form their own communities based on what they believe
4. Freedom of press; i believe that the freedom of the press should be the same on mars that it is here on earth, everyone should be able to say and express their feelings without feeling threatened
5. Freedom of religion; no matter the religion everyone should be able to to believe in their own beliefs and they should not be discriminated against
6. The right to a trial on earth; if you are convicted of a crime on Mars and then taken to trial you should have the right to be flown back to earth under supervision, and then have your trial held on earth.
7. The right to own your own land: no matter race, gender, religion you should be able to own your own land, anywhere you wish as long as the land is not  already owned.
8. Public education; I believe that all children under the age 18 should have the right to a public education that is costless to the students family.
9. The right to own weapons; I firmly believe that if you wish to own a gun you should be able to, but in order to but and own a gun the process should be excessive, with background checks, and you must be over a certain age
10. The right to all materials necessary to survive; you should be provided with food, water, shelter, clothing all means necessary to provide no matter age, gender, race, or religion
