The Sokovia Accords

I still couldn't find anything online about the actual contents of the Accords aside from that one page which appeared in the trailers. I suppose it's a good idea not to show it so that movie watches wouldn't nitpick the thing to death instead of enjoying the movie itself, but still, that prevents me from nitpicking the thing to death. =P

Also, it seems that even internally, Marvel isn't very consistent about what the Accords do. Pretty sure movie canon takes precedence over TV canon though.

Anyway, I found this article online which pretty much explains a lot of my feelings about what we do know of the Accords, better than I can. Of course, this would be in a realistic USA in a realistic universe...so of course that wouldn't include the MCU. -_-!

1. Peter was obviously joking around. No one else got read their rights. Tony outright shoots Sam when Sam was trying to sympathize with him over Rhodey's fall, despite the fact that Rhodes was downed by a friendly fire shot that he himself called rather than deliberate enemy action.

3. I don't think it's the "ship" part is that the article implies would violate the Bill of Rights. I mean it's not like the British prison ships were there to ferry prisoners around; they were most likely anchored for the duration of the war. The problem is the idea of a prison where it would be easy to offhand kill everyone inside with a single breach or accident.
