Remember when the WFE said "Please endorse [nation] for he is your regional speaker." It seems to me that your just saying that because you lost and you want to stay delegate. The speaker should stay delegate.

The Security Council shall be made up of six representatives. Permanent members include Ambrosius Aurelianus, Darmen, Sensimillastan, and Zhenghou. The other two positions shall be elected for a 100 day term.

1. The WA Delegate and Speaker are basicly seperate. It's hard to always get people to endorse the Speaker as the WA Delegate. Also your saying that the Speaker has to be a member of the WA, that's not exactly fair to all of the non-WA members.
2. The four contries that got permanent seats on the Security Council have been in the LMS for a long time. In fact Sensi, and Ambrosius were all part of the first group of nations to join the LMS. And Zhenghou founded it. Also when the Security Council idea was introduced by Zhenghou, it was stated that the four above mention nations would be permanent members.
3. Not all of the posistions were given to the permanent members, all though I will give you "most of them."
After taking your thoughts into acount I will make some changes.

Also we are probably the most active nations in the LMS, although I will say that Zhenghou hasn't been as active as usual.

Again the Delegate elections are never ending. The WA Delegate will be the nation with the most endorsements and that can change at any time.

So are we voting on this?

Not right now, I'm still looking for more feedback from other members. I think that we'll vote on this during the next elections.

[Zhenghou Wao dynasty]

The Zhenghouan Supreme Delegate and the Emperor stand.

We feel that the Great Empire of Zhenghou should have the position of Chairman of the SC. Sensemillistan can hold our position. otherwise, our nation accepts the charter
--------------
As a second motion, the nation of Ravineworld has pleaded to rejoin the League after the felony they comitted, they will be a non voting nation whose delegates will not be eligible to stand for election/ endorsements to be speaker for 500 days. This nation has mostly obeyed their sentence dutifully and deserve the right to rejoin. I come recognizing and ridiculing them for their nation's felonies. However we must pay recognition for otherwise loyal conduct. they have done the following to contribute to the league:
-write our 2nd charter
-help start our campaigns against raiders.
Hereby We ask the SC of the LMS to consider this proposal

[Aestalis]

Article 1-Federal Government
Section 1-Speaker
The position of Speaker shall be an elected position. The duties of Speaker shall include,
-Representing the League in Diplomatic Functions
-Running Elections
-Settling disputes between member nations
-Leading the League in everyday situations
The Speaker shall serve a term of 100 days.

Section 2-Lord Protector
The position of Lord Protector shall be an elected position. The duties of the Lord Protector shall include,
-Representing the League in Diplomatic Functions
-Settling disputes between member nations
-Serve as the Honorary head of the Assembly
-Take over for the Speaker when the Speaker is unable to perform his duties
The Lord Protector shall serve a term of 100 days.

The Lord Protector has the exact same duties as the Speaker, save an honorary title. Having two offices that can lead the League, and can settle disputes will almost always cause conflict. What if the Speaker and the LP are at odds on how to represent, or how to settle a dispute? Which office prevails?

I propose that either the speaker or the LP office is abolished and all powers and duties are held in one office. It's much more efficient.

Section 3-Minister of the Military
The position of Military Minister shall be an elected position. The duties of the Military Minister shall include,
-Calling up the militia
-Overseeing the actions of the militia
-Brings proposals of War to the Assembly
The Minister of the Military shall serve a term of 100 days.

Section 4-WA Delegate
The WA Delegate can be any nation that is a member of the World Assembly. The duties of the WA Delegate shall include,
-Representing the League in the World Assembly
-Help to protect the Region from “Raiders”
The WA can serve an unlimited term and elections for the WA Delegate are never ending.

Article 2-The Assembly
Section 1-Definition
The Assembly shall be made up of representatives from different nations. The representatives shall be elected by the member states. Their shall be 1 representative for every 3 nations that are a part of the LMS. Representatives will serve a 100 day term.

What do you mean by 1 representative for every 3 nations? Are we talking puppet nations, because that needs to specified.

Section 2-Duties
The duties of the Assembly shall include,
-Voting on Declarations of War
-Voting on Proposals
-Impeaching the Speaker
-Impeaching the Lord Protector
-Impeaching the Military Minister

Article 3-The Supreme Court
Section 1-Definition
The Supreme Court shall be made up of 3 judges from member nations. The judges will be elected. Judges will serve a 100 day term.

Section 2-Duties
The duties of the Supreme Court shall include,
-Trying all cases of treason
-Making sure all proposals passed by the Assembly are constitutional
-Overseeing all cases of impeachment

This judicial organ seems unnecessary. The Assembly should impeach it's own members and officers, that is the way it is generally done in democratic chambers. And the duty of "making sure all proposals passed by the Assembly are constitutional" is illegitimate, as there are no actual provisions to go against, save the Bill of Rights, which is so general that almost any proposal will fall in line with them.

Article 4-Elections
Section 1-Time Table
Candidates can register with the Election Committee on Days 90-95 of the Speakers term. The election will take place on Days 96-98 of the Speakers term, leaving a two day transition period.

Section 2-Election Committee
The Election Committee will be made up of citizens from the Nation of the Speaker. Its job will be to help the Speaker run the elections. The Duties of the Election Committee shall include,
-Compiling a list of Registered Candidates
-Making the Ballot
-Counting Votes
-Announcing the results

Section 3-Election Disputes/Problems
Any disputes and or problems related to the Election shall be resolved by the Speaker. Any disputes and or problems related to the Speaker Election shall be resolved by the Lord Protector.

Section 3 is simply not possible to agree to. In this situation, there is nothing to stop the offices fro colluding and resolving disputes in each other's favour.
Disputes and problems in elections can be fixed by redoing the election, and even then I don't see many disputes actually happening, the votes are always pretty clear.

Section 4-Political Parties/Affiliations
It is not required for Candidates to be affiliated with political parties to run, nor is it required for the Candidates to say what party they are affiliated with, but it is encouraged for Candidates to.

I don't think this needs to be in. Party politics generally doesn't apply to inter-governmental organisations like this.

Article 5-Security Council
Section 1-Makeup
The Security Council shall be made up of six representatives. Permanent members include Ambrosius Aurelianus, Darmen, Sensimillastan, and Zhenghou. The other two positions shall be elected for a 100 day term.

Section 2-Positions
The Security Council shall have these positions,
-Chairman
-Human Rights Commissioner (Head of Human Rights Council)
-Intelligence Commissioner
-Field Command
The Chairman shall permanently be a representative from Sensimillastan, the Human Rights Commissioner shall permanently be a representative from Darmen, the Intelligence Commissioner shall permanently be a representative from Ambrosius Aurelianus, and the Field Command shall be made up of Generals from the Sensimillastan and Ferginshnagin armies.

Okay this Article has the most issues. I won't support any permanent members if there is to be a Security Council.
What is to happen if one permanent member leaves the League? We will need a whole constitutional re-vote to fix the situation. That's not efficient.

Section 3-Duties of the Security Council
The Duties of the Security Council shall include
-Bringing Proposals of War before the Assembly
-Working with the Military Minister in times of War
-Gathering Intelligence on Member Countries and Enemies
-Ensuring Human Rights are not infringed upon by the member states

"Bringing Proposals of War before the Assembly" is a role of the Military Minister. Again, we have two bodies doing one thing, and that won't work.
All of these functions can be carried out by the Military Minister, in conjunction with the Assembly.

Section 4-Human Rights Council
The Human Rights Council shall be made up of Darmen, Ambrosius Aurelianus, and The Holy Forden Church. The Holy Forden Church will only have voting powers in the Human Rights Council, not the actual Security Council. Duties of the Human Rights Council shall include,
-Making sure all member nations do not infringe on their citizens human rights
-Deciding on an appropriate action to take against states that have infringed on the human rights of its citizens
-Bring Proposals of War to the Security Council should the war be because of the infringement of human rights

Member nations should have the right to do what they wish in their borders. This Council violates national sovereignty way too much, and also encroaches on the duties of other bodies.

Article 6-The Military
Section 1
The Military shall be known as the Militia of the LMS. It shall be lead by a General from the Army of the Military Ministers Nation. All nations, with the exception of The Holy Forden Church, shall be required to give 10-25% of their military to the LMS Militia.

Why does one nation get exempted? If there are to be exemptions, there should be clear criteria for such exemptions.

Section 2
The Militia shall only be used after the Security Council, Assembly, and Speaker give their ok. The Speaker also will have the power to use the Militia without the consent of the Security Council and Assembly for 14 days.

This is the like the USA War Powers Act, and it isn't something we should be following. I can't support this.

Article 7-Amendments
Amendments can be made to the Constitution with the consent of 50% of the Leagues members. Amendments can be proposed by the Speaker, Lord Protector, and the Assembly.

I think you mean 50%+1 of members nations, which is an absolute majority.

Article 8-Bill of Rights
The following is a list of rights that all member states have;
-The right to Vote.
-The right to Free Speech.
-The right to choose their “National” religion.
-The right to be involved in government.

I don't think this is necessary. If we have a Bill of Rights, which I don't support, it needs to be more comprehensive and clear.
