The Constitution of the Empire

PREAMBLE

We, the People of the Edmundian Empire, in Order to form a more perfect Empire, establish Justice, insure domestic peace, provide for the common defence and secure the Blessings of Freedom to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Edmundian Empire and her Territories


ARTICLE 1
Parties will run for office, and the leader who wins the election will be granted the seat of Prime Minister. Elections for the position of Prime Minister shall follow in an orderly and succinct fashion, to be held once every three weeks via a poll. This election shall be reserved only for World Assembly members, unless there are non-WA members who have been unequivocally proven to not be puppets. The winning party runs the government while in power, and once in power they can propose any legislation they want and make any changes they deem fit. During their term, a Prime Minister can who to elect and remove onto the government, however it should be noted that the other party leaders will always be granted a seat of power. Apart from the Constitution, there are no limits placed on the power a Prime Minister can exert; however, it should be noted that if the Reigning Monarch sees the leader as a threat to the Empire, they will notify that leader what they need to stop doing, otherwise they will be removed from office.
ARTICLE 2
Free speech is an inalienable right. Thus no comments are to be suppressed under any circumstance. If a nation is found guilty of this, they will be warned and possibly banned after repeated offence. The only exception to this is when a nation says something worthy of moderator action.
ARTICLE 3
Endorsing is not a choice under specific circumstances. All WA Delegates will be required to endorse the leader. Failure to do so will result in a warning that could lead to ban if it is deliberately ignored. If a nation endorses another nation that is not the leader deliberately, they will be banned.
ARTICLE 4
The Articles, if debated upon, will be put onto legislation whereupon a 66% vote to pass will lead the legislation to be decided upon by the Reigning Monarch. These legislations that must be passed are legislations involving the Articles.
ARTICLE 5
The people of the Empire, knowing the righteous path of that said Empire, shall have the power to recall any Prime Minister who they deem to be going against the grain of the Will of the people. If fifty percent or more of the populace petition the government to orchestrate a recall election, the government shall hereby be forced to accommodate their wishes. If sixty percent of the populace or more vote to recall the said office bearer, then he or she shall immediately leave office, and a new election shall be immediately held.
