BE IT ENACTED BY THE YOUTH LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA YOUTH LEGISLATURE –
Build a big pyramid as a state monument and a symbol for Minnesota’s prosperity and culture
Minnesota’s greatness is not recognized enough by the people of America. Our rich culture has been providing so much for
this country, and it goes greatly unnoticed. By constructing a giant pyramid, we hope to establish a new symbol for
Minnesota and finally gain the recognition that we deserve.
SECTION II - JUSTIFICATION
The pyramid has been a symbol of strength and stability throughout the course of history, from the ancient Egyptians, to
the Aztecs, to the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid, and now to us. By constructing this powerful monument, we will create a sense
of statewide pride and community. This will also create new job opportunities for many citizens of Minnesota, as the
construction process will require many new workers. Limestone is a great stone for pyramids, and thankfully, there is
plenty of it in Minnesota that we can use to construct the pyramid. This pyramid will have a base of 732 ft x 732 ft and
a height of 322 ft. This will make it the largest pyramid in America. The pyramid will be located west of the Twin
Cities, in the vast spread of open land of western Minnesota. We will financially compensate those whose land is lost
for the greater good. The construction of this pyramid will signal a new era of Minnesotan history, one where we are all
united and strong under its mighty triangular presence.
