Article C Amendments to the Constitution For an amendment to the constitution to be made, the amendment must be proposed within Parliament and attain a supermajority approval of five out of the seven senators. It must then be sent to the general public where it must attain a new supermajority of two thirds. Once both of these have been handled, the amendment must then pass the office of the Supreme Court in order to check if the amendment complies with the rest of the constitution.

I will let the members voice there opinion, the only provlem I see is the RMB Vote thing, that can have easy voter fraud done there. I think we should stick to voting on the forums.

Both constitutions require language clean up. Once one has been made official I will be willing to proof read it and make minor changes.

I just believe that the court should consist of 2-3 members.

The thing is, courts are almost never used, 1 member should be enough.

I'm just worried that it could lead to unbalanced, and biased decisions, even on the few things that are brought before it. If there were two, at least they can veto each others decisions if one finds it unjust. With 3, it can be made into a majority thing. Where there is one Supreme Justice and 2 justices. The Supreme Justice can serve as a tie breaker in any decision.

3 Justices won't really solve the problem of unbalanced and biased decisions and would just create unneeded governmental roles.
