Cheon Il Guk Constitution (https://www.unification.net/cig/Cheon_Il_Guk_Constitution.pdf)
First scrolling through this, it was the section of the forfeiture of the rights of citizens that stood out for me.

the grounds that they are not enumerated in the Constitution.

And this part:

Part of the CESNUR conference I attended included an afternoon at the the home of Han Hak-ja/Moonie HQ. We didn't meet her, but we were treated to a dance performance of her body guards that was quite funny in a good sense. And then we had a chance to ask the senior members there some questions. So I asked them about the above sections of the constitution something like: What happens to citizens who lose their rights, especially if the kingdom is the whole world. As you know many people have left your church, including some of Mrs Moon's children. What then is the place in a world ruled by Mrs. Moon for such people?
I imagined it would be something like the role of Winston Smith in George Orwell's 1984. The answer I received was one of "Well, we need to think through that some more". I couldn't disagree!
Why then have such an impossible and unobtainable goal? Well, simply put: cult's need their members to have a sense of purpose and a goal to strive for. All the better of that goal is forever unobtainable. The point isn't to accomplish such a goal, it is to keep people working towards it, people who are instilled with the idea they are serving God's will and those opposed to them are under the influence of Satan.

Sean's version is described in two in-depth articles about the Moons and Sean's splinter group from The Washington Post and Rolling Stone Magazine.

QuoteMeanwhile, their mother, Hak Ja Han, claims the Rev. Moon, her husband of 52 years, passed the baton to her. The church they were fighting over has roots in both Korea and America. The Rev. Moon — born in 1920 in what is now North Korea but was then part of Japan — said Jesus appeared to him when he was 15 and asked him to take on the "special mission" of completing God's Kingdom on earth, Cheon Il Guk in his native Korean. ...
Sean Moon's Constitution of the United States of Cheon Il Guk is a powerful document. It throws the country in reverse and then steps on the gas. Consider just these few provisions: The House of Representatives will elect the president. The king will pick Supreme Court justices. Congress cannot levy income taxes or property taxes; nor can it fund health care, education, Social Security or Medicare. The constitution specifically states there will be no Central Bank, Environmental Protection Agency or national police force.

QuotePreaching a last-days theology, Moon prophesies that a heavenly kingdom will soon be established on Earth — and that his heavily armed followers will help rule this land. "The citizens of the Kingdom of God, who will share in Christ's sovereignty, bear the responsibility to defend their family, neighbors, and nation with their own rod of iron," Moon writes in his book, Rod of Iron Kingdom.
Moon casts himself (and his progeny) as the monarchs of this future divine realm, which he calls the United States of Cheon Il Guk, shorthanded as CIG. He has even written its constitution, describing CIG as "a sovereign and actual nation [that] does not yet exist in this world, but is the long awaited culmination of the End of Time." The CIG constitution vaguely resembles the American one, but prominently bans abortion and gay marriage, and installs Moon as king.
By definition, establishing the United States of Cheon Il Guk will require an overthrow of the current United States of America. Moon denies that force will be required, rather that "people through self-determination and being led by the Spirit of God will organically institute that in their countries."
