It is a sad state of affairs in this world that countries have for so long remained so bitterly opposed to others.  No time in human history has a peaceful union existed among the total populous of the world.  Never until recent times have the true technologies existed to make such a union, one that is dependent on communication, a possibility.  We now have the ability to contact anyone around the world cheaply and instantly.  We now have the ability to travel to anywhere in the world within a day.  These technological steps allow us to become closer as nations to form one united entity, the humanity of Earth.
   
The United States is the leader of the world in many facilities.  It is the largest economy of the world; it has the most powerful military of the world.  Back in 1776 those that would become the first Americans set out a foundation of freedom and democracy that in scope was unmatched.  While the politics decided in its halls, the framework of the United States government is one that has stood the test of time and has been the foundation for many other governments.
   
Considering how well the system is set up, it is distressing that the world lacks the same strong backbone to freedom and order.  On the world stage, the US as the mightiest country has acted as a dictator.  They have great power, and as long as they retain it they are free to act as they please on the world stage, such is the problem with a dictatorship.  The US has felt it a moral imperative to force democracy in nations that previously had none.  It seems natural that the US, in its support of democracy should push to have the world run in a democratic fashion, one in which the world works together and is not controlled by powerful minorities.  As such I will lay out a world government system based upon those documents and systems that form the basis for democracy in the US.

The Declaration of Independence
   We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all countries are created equal, that they are endowed, as human institutions, with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Constitution of the United Nations
We the governments of the United Nations, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure international tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution of the United Nations.

Article I
Section 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United Nations, which shall consist of a Senate. (Ed. Note, due to the large number and the disparity in nations, I do not see the House format as realistic for a United Nation Congress)
Section 2. The Senate of the United Nations shall be composed of one senator from each nation, to be replaced no more than every 2 years, and each senator shall have one vote.  The Vice-President of the UN shall be President of the Senate but shall have no vote unless equally divided.  The Senate holds the power of approval for all positions in the Executive and Judicial branches including the position of President whom they shall elect.  They are put upon to establish laws that deal with the protection of one nation?s rights from violation from another.  They must also approve any military action.

Article II
Section 1. The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United Nations.  He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, be elected by a vote of the Senate.  No more than one candidate shall be from one nation.
Section 2. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the UN Peacekeeping forces.  He shall have the power to appoint those, with two-thirds confirmation by the Senate, to serve in the judicial offices as well as those leading the various departments (Ed. Note: These would be departments like the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and the International Atomic Energy Agency, etc).

Article III
Section 1. The judicial power of the United Nations shall be vested in one supreme world court, and in inferior courts.
Section 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this constitution and the laws of the United Nations or those that shall be made under their authority, to all cases involving officials of the United Nations, of all cases involving controversy of more than one nation.

Article IV
Section 1. A person charged in any nation with a crime who shall flee from justice and be found in another nation shall on demand be delivered to the nation having jurisdiction of the crime.
Section 2. New nations may be admitted by the Congress of this union, but no new nation shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other nation, nor any nation be formed by the junction of two or more nations or parts of nations without the consent of the legislatures of the nations concerned as well as of the Congress.
Section 3. The United Nations shall guarantee to every nation in this union a democratic, republican, or parliamentary form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.

Article V
The Senate whenever two-thirds shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the nations, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which in either case shall be valid as part of this constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the nations.  No state, without its consent shall be deprived equal suffrage in the senate.

Article VI
This constitution and the laws of the United Nations shall be made in action thereof shall be the supreme law of the world, and the judges in every nation shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any nation to the contrary notwithstanding.

Well you could wish for it but such a World Union would be impossible as of right now, the UN should be reenforced but making the whole world into one Union would be too... close. Perhaps the EU model would work better?
