Do to the constitution not reaching the necessary amount, I hereby remove the draft from the floor. I will edit it, and submit it once more.

Thank you. May I suggest that we simply be able to pass this Constitution like any other legislation?

Also, may I suggest that should this temporary proposal be passed, its provisions be included in the redraft of this Constitution?

I'll write my draft, and post the link for others to view and edit.

I have decided we shall approve it in parts. Look below for released Articles.

Preamble

To ensure high standards of public welfare, the preservation of justice, and the promotion of democracy and regional tranquility, whilst maintaining regional integrity in creating a conduit for networking and training a community of nations interested in roleplaying on NationStates, we hereby establish a common Panessosian government for governance of the Member Nations of Panessos.

Article I. Name of Affiliation

Section 1.01 - This region shall be known as Panessos.

Article II. Membership Requirements

Section 2.01 - Any nation may join Panessos as long as they meet the requirements set by law.

Section 2.02 - Member Nations of Panessos shall not be required to pass any test or pay dues as a means of acceptance of membership, nor any mandatory conditions imposed upon them thereafter to retain that membership.




Article X. Amendments

Section 10.01 - The Legislative, whenever it is deemed necessary, shall propose and approve Amendments to this Constitution and be passed in the same way as a law.

Section 10.02 - When a proposed amendment undergoes voting, a majority “For” or a two-thirds majority “For” out of those voting is required to pass the amendment.

Article XI. Ratification and Implementation

Section 11.01 - This Constitution must be voted and agreed upon by at least a majority of all Senators within Panessos to be ratified.

Section 11.02 - This Constitution shall go into full effect December 31, 2013. If ratified before that date, all Articles shall go in effect, though the current officials are allowed to finish its term.

I would suggest the following Section 10.02 instead:

Section 10.02 - When a proposed amendment undergoes voting, a majority “For” out of those voting is required to pass the amendment.

Because from my experience, it is unlikely we will get more than a dozen votes on any particular legislation.
