How should they address the issue of a mayor showing up when they had never voted one in? They have the US Constitution and The Settlement bylaw to govern them in dealing with this.

The people are still trying to mold themselves into families but now are being faced with teenage rebellion. The younger children are afraid to go school because their schoolmaster does not like children. In addition to all of this, these ready-made families must learn about Montana winters, illnesses, thievery, and how to make their family members, who had been strangers only months ago, become a real family. And what should the atheist parson do when someone walks the aisle and asks him how to get born again?

The Settlement
Summary
Twenty-first century settlers are living in a 19th century town and outlying ranches in Montana for the purpose of filming a documentary. Each family has been thrown together, strangers to one another. Occupations and land have been secured by drawing them out of a hat. The parson is an atheist. The schoolteacher does not like children. The sheriff is a cocky 18-year-old. Each family is dependent on one another. With all of the coping of this new life, they begin questioning basic things and even begin wondering if the Bible has any answers. No one knows God. Their preacher does not even believe in God. But all is well, because God believes in them.
