[Title] How's Your Constitution These Days?

[Validity] Has Autocracy

[Description] Your afternoon meeting with your most trusted advisors was interrupted by one of your aides bringing in a dilapidated-looking book which @@HE@@ claimed he had found lying by a garbage shute in the back. Upon inquiry what book it is, the aide reads out "the Constitution of @@NAME@@", being visibly clueless as to its meaning.

[Option 1] Your brother hisses while backing away in fear. "Get that accursed thing away from us, this instant!" he screams out, turning to you with furrowed brows. "How could you have been this careless?! Do you have any idea what our playthi-err, I mean, our people would do if they found that... that... oh, I can't stand it, burn it! Burn it now, burn them all! Not a single copy of that abominable pile of paper can remain. Not. One."

[Effect 1] the nation's constitution is being burned away feverishly

[Option 2] "No, no, wait," notes @@RANDOMNAME@@, a close family friend and former expert in @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ constitutional law, as @@HE@@ walks over to the mortified aide and pages through the book. "Long time no see, my old friend... @@LEADER@@, we could use this! Brancaland and Skandilund have been a bothersome thorn in our side with their antithetical rhetoric about your absolute reign, why not snub their ugly noses that your power is entirely constitutional? We'll rewrite the whole thing in your favour, and have it be ratified by a carefully selected body of representatives from the general public. I assure you, the outcome will be entirely unanimous," @@HE@@ gives a meaningful look to the military general standing in your office.

[Effect 2] @@NAME@@'s new constitution reads like a love poem to @@LEADER@@

[Option 3] The aide is suddenly overtaken with startled excitement. "So, so, one time people had the ability to - what was the word - 'vote'? @@LEADER@@, I want to experience that! I want to know what it's like to vote! Please, can we have--" @@HE@@ looks over to the book briefly "--elections, just this once? Of course, I'd vote for you, and I'll tell all my friends and family to vote for you, but please, just this one time! I-, I-, I want to know what it's like..."

[Effect 3] in their unfamiliarity with elections @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ have foolishly re-elected @@LEADER@@

As near as I can tell, reverting from an autocracy or maintaining it via the constitution is unique. However, I can't help but feel that there are plenty of other "let's change our form of government" issues, and that this approach isn't wacky or exciting enough to be worth pursuing.

a dilapidated-looking book which @@HE@@ claimed he had found lying by a garbage shute in the back. Upon inquiry what book it is, the aide reads out "the Constitution of @@NAME@@", being visibly clueless as to its meaning.

I think changing the first sentence quoted here to something along the lines of "a dilapidated-looking book which @@HE@@ claimed to find at the bottom of a garbage shute." makes it flow a little better.

I'd also encourage rewording the second sentence quoted above, it seems kind of clunky to me, and I think you may have some tense/verb form issues.

On the whole I'd say the writing is good, I'm just not sure that the premise is enough. Try to thing of something more zany and absurd, and try to inject some more humor too.
