Preamble

Article I - The Confederacy

Section 1 - Representatives

Each commonwealth (Military) appoints a member to act as the representative of a state to The Confederacy. Representatives are what runs the Confederacy, and are required to act and vote on behalf of the commonwealth they represent.

Representatives may be replaced by the commonwealth they represent at any time, they may also step down from their position, in which case, the leader(s) of the commonwealth would then take the position of representative until another may be appointed (a commonwealth leader may also remain representative should it adhere to the laws of their government).

Representatives may also be removed if they are suspected of spying, treason, inactivity, failed to vote on Confederacy matters time after time, and various other reasons decided by the Representatives of the Confederacy. Representatives are the only ones of the Confederacy government allowed to impeach another representative.

As an appointed and agreed Represenative of the Confederacy, it is one's duty to vote on spoken issues, attend meetings, offer own opinion in matters, and give assistance to the Confederacy in itself. If a Represenative is not completing it's duties, the Represenatives have the power to impeach with probable cause.

If a Commonwealth or Outpost had been admitted durring a motion, that Commonwealth or Outpost's Represenative can not vote in that motion.

Section 2 - Capital & Capital Guard

The Capital Guard is the Centralized Force of the Confederacy. They are established to protect our borders and be our swift arm of strength in the Realms, if so needed. The Guard is a Responsiblity, and not a Duty, for the Members of the Confederacy. It is focused more so towards the larger-scale of strengths (i.e. Fleets), over the strength of few numbers. The Capital Guard leader or leaders are elected directly from the Represenatives, as to be chosen from the favorites of every group. The leader or leaders must renew their position every sixty days. They can be impeached by the Represenatives at any time, or can step down at any time. Every military must keep a constant supply of support goods flowing into the Capital Guard, as a form of taxation.

Section 3 - Powers of the Confederacy

The Body of the Confederacy is made up of the Represenatives, and loosely joins the Commonwealths together. If a Commonwealth agrees to join the Confederacy, they agree to the Constitution and particpate in the Confederacy.
-The Confederacy has the abbility to Limit the Rights of a Commonwealth if the Confederacy or other Commonwealths are endangering one another.

Article III - Misc.

Section 1 - New Commonwealths

Any Commonwealth wishing to join the Confederacy must obey it's Constitution, and follow it's regulations. Those Regulations are: Member Population of atleast five; abbility to defend itself along side the Capital Guard; Member participation or steady stream of communications up to three days prior to Admittance; Abbility to support the Capital Guard and Confederacy; Be an offical military as declared by present administration.

Militaries failing to meet the requirements, may be allowed into the Confederacy but are classified as a Confederacy Outpost rather than a Commonwealth, and their powers are limited. Outposts may appoint a Representative, but are not allowed access to classified information and can be excluded from certain issues to be discussed.

Section 2 - Amendmending the Constitution

In order to alter the government by means of the Constitution, a Citizen of the Confederacy must contact their Represenative to make a motion concerning that alteration. The admendment to the Constitution must be approved by three fourths of the whole of the Represenatives. After three weeks from the motion of the Admendment has begun, and all votes have not been cast, the Admendment will be automatically approved. The hung-motion is liable to Review by the Courts.

Section 3 - Approving Motions

In order to approve a motion, there must be a vote of Majority Represenatives. The Represenative who made the motion can not vote on it, unless there is an even tied vote, in which that Represenative will cast the deciding vote. After two weeks from the motion has begun, and all votes have not been cast, the Admendment will be automatically approved. The hung-motion is liable to Review by the Courts.

Article IV - Judiciary System

Section 1 - The Court

The Court of the Confederacy is the Judiciary power of it's body. The Court is led by two Justices appointed from the Represenatives, not needing to be a Represenative itself. The Court deals with any issues pretaining to civil or criminal laws, and issues it's punishment. The Represenatives have the power to impeach a Justice at any time, but only one Justice can be put on trial at a time. If a punishment is declared unjust by a citizen of the Confederacy, a Review of the Court is liable by the Represenatives. Both Justices must agree to find someone guilty. If three weeks has passed from the start of the trial, the Defendant is freed. The Courts can not retry for Double-Jeopardy.

Section 2 - Impeachment

If at any time someone is impeached from power, the Courts will oversee the impeachment. If found guilty of crimes against, the person will be taken from office immedately, and is subject to further punishment. If a Justice is impeached, the Represenatives will act as a Jury in place of the second Justice. Only one Justice can be impeached at a time, and a second one must be found before the single Justice can be impeached. Three fourths of the Jury must find Justice guilty to remove from office. If an even vote, second Justice will decide.

Section 2 - Probable Cause

In order for anyone one person to limit the rights of Privacy, Armed Forces or Gather, the Court must issue Probable Cause. The person must come to the Justices who must both agree to give probable cause to limit the Rights of a Commonwealth or Outpost. If probable cause is granted, three fourths of Represenatives, excluding the Representing person of Commonwealth or Outpost on trial, must agree and define the rights limited and in what ways.

Section 2 - Review

Judical Review is a power granted to the Court to overlook an incompleted vote if it is Unconstitutional, Unethical, or Unjust. Both Justices must agree to revoke a motion, but can only take action after it has been approved. Any motion approved is liable to Review. A Court Review is set by the Represenatives, if a punishment was unfair. The Justices are barred from their position, as the Represenatives take the position of Jury as they see what was unfair, and if declared unfair, vote for a suitable punishment. Court Review can only last for four weeks before power of the Court must be returned to the Justices.

'k. As for I & II, Article II will need to be worked on the most, but should be worked on by all the Representatives so we'll leave it alone for the moment. I'll work on Article I one right now.

Supreme Commander of the AA
I would gladly help in the writing, but it seems that the topic of the AA being added to the Confederacy as a state was never discussed. I was invited though, so as soon as it is cleared up, I'll help out.

And as for the fleet thing for the guard, lemme know if I could run for the position if the AA is let in. That's the only kind of battle I really do anymore.

Yes, you could run for a leader position of the Capital Guard, after the Constitution is completed and finished that is.

Commonwealth Admittance (Which I suppose would go under Requirements)


Any Commonwealth wishing to join the Confederacy must obey it's Constitution, and follow it's regulations. Those Regulations are: Member Population of atleast five; abbility to defend itself along side the Capital Guard; Member participation or steady stream of communications up to three days prior to Admittance; Abbility to support the Capital Guard and Confederacy; Be an offical militay as declared by present administration.
Militaries failing to meet the requirements, may be allowed into the Confederacy but are classified as a Confederacy Outpost rather than a Commonwealth, and their powers are limited. Outposts may appoint a Representative, but are not allowed access to classified information and can be excluded from certian issues to be discussed.

Requirements section of the constitution is actualy for after they have been accepted, it will go over every required thing needed to remain part of the Confederacy. What you posted will go under Article III, section 2.

Also, post all updates to the constitution on this thread, but the most up-to-date constitution is over at the Information thread.
