New Republica's Constitution
By: DardoIllyria Date: March 6, 2015, 5:09 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
New Republica Constitution
Article 1 - Government
A. The main government body shall be the Republican Council. The
Republican Council shall be made up of five members. All laws
passed by this body shall only be IC. Anything passed that can
be construed as OOC, shall immediately be made null and void.
B. OOC items are to be handled by the Founder of WA Delegate,
presumably in conjunction
C. The council holds jurisdiction over the following items: The
outcomes of RP wars (if the outcome of a war is unclear), what
is the technology cap for a war, the creation of a map, the
distribution of land on said map, recruitment for the region.
D. All meetings and votes of the council must be held publicly
on the RMB for all nations to see, this is to make sure the
council does not become corrupt.
A2. Each council member will have a term of one month, this is
to keep membership on the council fresh, and to create activity
for NR.
B2. Council members shall be elected by direct election, via the
regional poll system, the five nations that get the most votes
shall win membership on the council. This is to be done before
the end of the present Republican Council’s term. In order to be
able to vote, a CItizen of New Republica must be in the region
at least a week.
C2. Of the five members elected each election, one shall be
chosen by the other members to become the Head Counselor through
a vote of the five. The Head Counselor has the responsibility of
bringing the council to order, bringing items to vote, and be
the public face of the council. The Head Counselor only has the
power to vote when an item being voted upon brings about a draw
by the other counselors.
A3. Any change to this document must be voted upon via
plebiscite of the people of New Republica.
B3. Once a plebiscite has been approved by the people of NR, the
Republican Council must pass the item. The minimum required
votes from the Republican Council to pass an amendment is the
same as to pass a regular item, at least three votes.
Article 2 - The Justice Court
-On the Principles-
The judiciary is composed of two Justices and the Chief Justice,
they will compose the Supreme Court of New Republica.
These supreme judges are the guarantors of regional laws, and it
is a right and duty of any nation of New Republica to seek legal
advice or open vote on the legitimacy of the choices of
individual or of the Council, in this way the Supreme Court, has
the right and the duty to point out the evident irregularities
to the Council, to the WAD and to Founder, which the latter two
will take punitive action.
All members are entitled to the vote, the Chief Justice can
abstain and participate only in case of tie.
-On the Composition-
The judges are elected only for their office and only for a
period not exceeding three months.
The application may be submitted up to 3 times.
The office is not stackable to other part of the Regional
Government.
The candidate must have citizenship of the region for at least
two weeks.
The candidate must be a member of the WA.
The candidate must not have been sentenced in the last four
weeks.
The most voted candidate becomes Chief Justice.
For every twenty new members, starting with the ratification of
this Constitution, will be added one seat.
-On the Impeachment-
Each charge of this region is subject to the laws written and
approved.
So, the members who are suspected of having worked against the
interests of the regional government can be put in to
impeachment according to these steps:
- Popular request on the RMB (or poll)
- ¾ majority vote of the Council
- Request by WAD and / or Founder
The Supreme Court will act only if it will be followed all the
steps listed above, but if the disciplinary action will cover
the second or the third party will not be asked their votes or
authorizations.
The Supreme Court after having listened and recorded the
testimonies and defenses emits a verdict, in a timely way, of
guilt or innocence, in case of conviction the accused loses its
privileges and its public offices.
Any verdict of the Supreme Court is to be considered, like the
votes of the Council, an expression of an IC government
therefore indicative, not imperative.
To preserve the integrity of this office each judge is subject
to the judgment of the citizens, but not of the Council, a Judge
can be put in to impeachment for failure or betrayal only from
WAD.
As a necessary consequence of the judge resigns and the task is
taken from the fourth interim judge the most votes in the last
election (next in line).
