In order to maintain order on The Ark, a strict system of justice is put into place, which resembles a dictatorial government more than a democratic form a society. The death penalty by "floating" (expelling someone from the Ark, leaving to float in outer space without oxygen) was a fairly common practice, even for some crimes which could be considered misdemeanors. | In order to maintain order on The Ark, a strict system of justice is put into place, which resembles a dictatorial government more than a democratic form a society.

[[The100:Thelonious Jaha|Thelonious Jaha]] was the last Chancellor of the Council that governed the Ark. As the Chancellor, Jaha had a major role on the Ark, that brought on many hard decisions and challenges, such as ending the lives of hundreds of people in order to save thousands, or choosing to stay behind on the Ark to ensure that some of humanity can return to their home planet. | [[The100:Thelonious Jaha|Thelonious Jaha]] was the last Chancellor of the Council that governed the Ark. As the Chancellor, Jaha had a major role on the Ark, that brought on many hard decisions and challenges, such as ending the lives of hundreds of people in order to save thousands, or choosing to stay behind on the Ark to ensure that some of humanity can return to their home planet. Jaha is portrayed as a strict, trustworthy, organized and understanding person. Jaha shows himself to be fairly wise. He is tough to those that have a problem with him. However, he cares deeply for the citizens of the Ark and is willing to put himself in danger for their safety. He tries to avoid giving himself special treatment, even allowing his son to be part of the 100, and almost becoming part of the Section 17 volunteers. | ||

* The Ark: a reference to the biblical Noah's Ark, seen as a means of salvation for a portion of humanity in the circumstance of a global disaster which seemingly wiped out the human race. | |||
* The computer chip with A.L.I.E.'s program is distributed and received on the tongue, to be ingested. It would almost seem a reference to receiving communion during the Eucharistic celebration, however considering that the result is a form of possession, it would almost seem to be more of a reference to a Black Mass. | |||
* The City of Light hints at the idea of a paradise, however it certainly does not have much in common with the Eternal Life of Christian doctrine. Though the state of absence of pain and sorrow might sound a little bit along the lines of {{Bible quote|ref=Apocalypse 7:16-17|inline=1}}, however the City of Light only gives an appearance of free will which is quite a deviation from the Christian Paradise in which true charitas reigns above all. | |||
