| Section 1: The people and their natural right 1(a): It is the belief of the Republic, known henceforth as the Federal Republic of Barmenia (Brmék Prtastaték Rekvakns), that the people are endowed with intellect and sharpness of mind, and are thus the most righteous to approve governance and grant elected office. In this manner, by their lead they do elect such representatives who may form the forum of scholars to do such work which may be required to lead this most philosophical and illustrious land. It is their will and thus their representatives, which does appoint the executive, who may styled per constitutional order. Section 2: Powers of the Exective and Legislature. 2(a): The executive and the Assembly are ordered upon the due completion of the restoration to respect the laws, ordinances, and spirit of the first, second , third , and fourth democratic revolutions. 2(b): The Legislature is invested with power to pass such federal statute and ordinances as may be neccesary to ensure the due maintenance of the government, declare matters of war and peace, decide the selection of the executive during a tie in the popular vote, vote on candidates for positions in the government, and review matters of taxation, spending, and executive declaration and proclamation, and judicial order and injunction. 2(c): The Executive, known as the President of the Republic, is invested with the power to command the armed forces in a time of war, appoint such personnel as they may deem fit to run the affairs of domestic and foreign policy, enforce the laws of the Republic, submit bills and issue such as orders they may deem necessary to serve a need for their duties as a constitutionally bound head of government, issue proclamations. 2(d): The Supreme Court shall be an indepent judiciary, free of the oversight of executive and the Assembly with the exception of nomination and removal from office in the cases of murder and crimes against the well being of the people as a democratic force. They shall consist of a panel of eleven individuals, and shall seek to remedy the abuses of the other two in so far as they are possible in their role as binding aribters of righteous constitution. They shall be charged with interpreting the laws of the Assembly, and those orders of the executive which may be in arrears with the constitution. Their order shall be the law, and in the case of a violation by the executive or the Assembly, the military shall restore such order as is outlined in section 3. Section 3: Role of the military 3(1): The Armed Forces of Barmenia shall swear its loyalty twice fold; to the constitution, and to the people. They shall hold their loyalty solely primarily to the executive on a day to day basis in times of normality. In times which may conflict with that standard, they shall restore constitutional order as outlined and seek, to the best of their ability, to uphold the people's will and that of the constitution. 3(2): If the Assembly were to defy such order as to deem their actions treasonous to the spirit of the revolution or the constution as defined by it; that is to say, if they were to commit high crimes or misdemeanor, the armed forces would be empowered to place them under detainment. Similarly, of the executive were to be charged and convicted by the assembly for the same, they too would be stripped of their office, detained, and a new election would be held to replace the executive. Section 4: Election of the Executive 4(1): The executive shall be decided via one of two forms; via popular election, or elective decision of the full assembly on individual candidates in the event of a tie in the popular vote. In the matter of the death of the President and Vice President, the Assembly shall be empowered to appoint a replacement. Section 5: Abolition of the Third Interim, and bar on monarchial rule until 4398. Section 5(1): The Assembly does recognize, that under the terms of revised constitution of 4012, it did appoint the deceased Jens van Thaller as the duly elected monarch of Barmenia, and permitted him to use the title of 'Sultan'. However, it did not, to its knowledge, elect the two current purported occupants of that title. As the Republic has, even in times of monarchy, always elected its sovereign, their rule shall be deemed illegitimate barring a certificate of election. Sec. 5(2): Regardless of their pending issuance of a proper certificate of election, the Assembly does hereby inform the two sons of Jens van Thaller that they are duly dismissed from all offices of purported government. Their places of residence are hereby seized, and shall be sold at market value, barring their preservation for historical novelty. Sec.5(3): The Assembly does hereby make clear that though he was duly elected, Jens van Thaller had no right to issue a binding constitution as the executive. As the Assembly was not consulted, and no popular vote was held to ratify the purported new constitution, the constitution of 4012 shall be deemed as in effect until such time as this constitution shall be voted on by the people of Barmenia. Sec. 5(4): In order to safeguard the liberties of the Republic, no government or Act of the assembly shall be allowed to install a monarch of hereditary or elected writ, until the month of December of the year 4398. Section 6: Mandate of non-sectarian governance and elections. 6(1): In line with its belief in the four democratic revolutions, the three branches of government are hereby barred from prejudicial action against any citizen of the Republic on account of religion, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. Any attempt to circumvent this clause shall trigger section 3(2). Aection 7: Style of the executive. 7(2): The style of the executive shall simply be "Sir" or "Madam". In foreign nations, the President shall titled, in full, "His Excellency" or "Her Excellency", followed by the title "the President of the Republic of Barmenia". 8: Style and setting of the inauguration. 8(1): The inauguration of the executive following a new term shall consist of the presence of the executive, the Speaker of the Assembly, and The Chief Justice of the Court. Prior to their taking office , the executive shall swear an oath to the Chief Justice to uphold the constitution and the laws and spirit of the four democratic revolutions. 10: Instrument for Enactment: 10(1): The Act shall pass following a plebicite by the people. |
