What is your nations Constitution?

Postby Thaxanos » Sat Jul 26, 2014 9:35 am

Parts of the Constitution were changed after the current monarch took control of Thaxanos.
Thaxanos Constitution.

During times of peace or war the current monarch may choose to disregard the Constitution if he/she believes it to be in the best interests for the people of Thaxanos.

Article One: A well regulated national and/or civilian Militia, being necessary to the security of a free Nation, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Article Two: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Article three: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Article Four: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the Province and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.

Article Five: Section 1: Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within Thaxanos, or any place subject to its jurisdiction.
Section 2: The ruling monarch shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Article Six: Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in Thaxanos, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of Thaxanos and of the Province wherein they reside. No Province shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of Thaxanos; nor shall any Province deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2: The validity of the public debt of Thaxanos, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither Thaxanos nor any Province shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against Thaxanos, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 3: The ruling monarch shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Note: The constitution was written in 1978 by Robert Kon while he had a blood alcohol level of almost 1%. It is written on bent and torn typing paper in red crayon, extremely illegible and covered in coffee stains. It is only 7 words long, yet is the basis of every single law created. It goes as thus:

F*** you I do what I want.

We have a national constitution, but the Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Faithful Ideological System has come to supersede it.

1. We must give our all in the struggle to unify the entire society with the revolutionary ideology of Democracy.

2. We must honor Democracy with all our loyalty.

3. We must make absolute the authority of Democracy.

4. We must make the revolutionary ideology of Democracy our faith and make the instructions our creed.

5. We must adhere strictly to the principle of unconditional obedience in carrying out the instructions of Democracy.

6. We must strengthen the entire ideology, willpower and revolutionary unity, centering on the idea of unity, peace and prosperity.

7. We must learn from each other and adopt the democratic look, revolutionary work methods and friendly work style.

8. We must value the democratic life we were given, and loyally repay the great political trust and thoughtfulness with heightened social awareness and skill.

9. We must establish strong organizational regulations so that the entire nation move as one under the banner of peace and prosperity.

10. We must pass down the great achievement of Democracy from generation to generation, inheriting and completing it to the end.

The 1976 Constitution, based on the Leninist concept of Soviet Democracy.

All political authority (legislative, executive and judicial) resides in the Soviets, the organs of representation of the working people. Each Soviet elects an Executive Committee to enact its policies, and they also appoint the People's Courts.

Citizens directly participate in their workplace and local soviets, and they directly elect the delegates to the Regional Soviets. These in turn elect the Delegates to the State Soviets and the Supreme Soviet, which serves as the nation's legislature. Delegates are always subject to recall. The national executive is the Council of People's Commissars, elected by the Supreme Soviet, and the head of State is the Chairman of the Council. The country operates under the principle of Collective Leadership: Legislative decisions require a majority vote in the Supreme Soviet and executive decisions require a majority in the Council of People's Commissars.

The country operates on a principle of strict Collective Leadership: Executive decisions require the approval of the Council and legislative decisions require the approval of the Soviet. In actual practice, the executive at all levels has a lot of influence because their decisions are generally rubber-stamped by the Soviets, partly because if they didn't have a majority they probably wouldn't be the Executive to begin with, partly because the vast majority of political work is done by Commissions chaired by the various Commissars and partly because there's usually a Communist majority more or less aligned with the Party line and cooperating to implement it, and most non-Party delegates are communist-friendly anyway.

We don't actually have one. We do have a national document, the "Deklarasijastabenomiankomunasiciasija" (more commonly known as the "DAKS", loosely translations to "Declaration of the status of the Benomian communal association"), although it isn't a binding document and is more like a serious of suggestions.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

The original statement Zecatera gave after destroying the last of the Element Lords;
"... And now that the oppressors of the Bionicle are dead and defeated, our kind will unite under their hero and saviour, their emperor. And I shall be the ruler of this new Empire, which shall span the stars and conquer the universe. The shackles have been broken, only to me, now will the Bionicle listen..."
Emperor Zecatera goes on to state that his action and word is law, and that the rest of the government will emerge over time.
Yes, this is an empire of Bionicle.
