Section 1
Overview

The Official Parliament of the Unitary Republic shall consist of five Democratically Elected Senators.

The Official Parliament is Unicameral

All the official legislative powers within the Unitary Republic shall be under the reign of the Parliament.

Members of Parliament shall serve a one month term or until a General Election is called.

For parliament to dissolve, the Prime Minister or a member of the Parliament must call a poll in which the general populace vote on it. If a majority of the people say that it needs to be dissolved, the Parliament will be dissolved.

If a member of Parliament does not post on the forums for a week and they may be removed from their position as leader of Parliament.

Section 2
Law

It will be debated for an unspecified amount of time and then another senator must call for it to be voted upon. It must then be voted upon and win with a majority to be called law.

If at any time a member of Parliament feels that a law is unnecessary and needs to be changed, they may motion for it to be revoted upon, that motion must be carried by another member of parliament for the revote to be called. If a revote passes with a majority, the law is rendered null and officially discarded.

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. Once all of these are satisfied, the amendment is considered passed and the appropriate changes to the constitution must be made.

Article D

Article C may not be amended.

Political Parties are not allowed to be formed within region.

This constitution creates a Minister of Defense, it does not create a Military though, and Parliament must create that itself.

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.
