| PASSED: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=508588 AMENDED: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=509359 Title I _________________________________ Article 1 Cobura is a constitutional, democratic, parliamentary and social Monarchy. The constitutional regime of the Kingdom is founded on the separation, the balance and the collaboration of the powers, as well as on participative democracy of the citizen, and the principles of good governance and of the correlation between the responsibility for and the rendering of accounts. The Nation relies for its collective life on the federative constants, on the national unity of its multiple components, on the constitutional monarchy, and on democratic choice. The territorial organization of the Kingdom is decentralized. It is founded on an advanced regionalization. Article 2 Sovereignty belongs to the Nation which exercises it directly, by way of referendum, and indirectly, by the intermediary of its representatives. The Nation chooses its representatives from among the institutions elected by way of free, honest, and regular suffrage. Article 4 Irkawan, Augustan, and Mallan are the official languages of the State. The State sees to the coherence of linguistic policy and national culture and to the learning and mastery of the foreign languages of greatest use in the world, as tools of communication, of integration and to be open to different cultures and to contemporary civilizations. A National Council of Languages and of Coburan Culture is created, charged with, notably, the protection and the development of the national languages and of the diverse Coburan cultural expressions, which constitute one authentic heritage and one source of contemporary inspiration. It brings together the institutions concerned in these domains. Article 5 The law is the supreme expression of the will of the Nation. All, physical or moral persons, and including the public powers, are equal before it and held to submit themselves to it. The public powers work for the creation of the conditions permitting the effectiveness of liberty and of the equality of citizens to be made general as well as their participation in political,economic, cultural and social life. The principles of constitutionality, of the hierarchy and of the obligation of publication of juridical norms, are affirmed. The law may not have retroactive effect. Article 6 The political parties work for the structuring and for the political instruction of the citizens, for the promotion of their participation in the national life and the management of public affairs. They concur in the expression of the will of the electors and participate in the exercise of power, on the basis of pluralism and of alternation by democratic methods, within the framework of the constitutional institutions.Their constitution and the exercise of their activities are free, within respect for the Constitution and for the law. The political parties may not have as an objective, hostility toward the Arkhe or Hosian religions, to the monarchical regime, to the constitutional principles, to the democratic foundations or to the national unity and territorial integrity of the Kingdom. Parties that propose legislation contradictory to these principles will be forcibly dissolved. (NOTE: rule 23.8) Title II: Of the Royalty and the Government _________________________________ Article 7 His Exalted Majesty, Kharakhte II, of the House of Saksoure-Manshōpi, shall be granted the throne of Cobura as is his right by descent from the Lord Pterou Saksoure, Justified.
