Each and every citizen as a representative of their county is entitled to write a proposal on the ballot. Colleges and universities where the funding is provided by the regional government and the social sciences are taught are required to provide training for people who are considering submitting proposals for ballot initiatives or, citizens or foreigners who have questions about the process. City hall, colleges, libraries as well as online are required to provide material free of charge on the law creation process, private and public research facilities, local private and public forums and clubs for the creation or discussion of law, law firms and other entities where existing law may be researched in comparison to an idea or proposal one wishes to submit as well as available private and public review boards.  It is recommended, but not required, that person or persons considering altering existing law go to law firm(s) or other private or public entities to determine where existing law on the subject already exists before undertaking any proposal.    It is highly recommended, but not required that each county proposal go through the proposal review process before the signature gathering process is undertaken.    (Create: 10/16/03 - Revised: 7/5/07)

After any citizen believes they have completed a county proposal they will need a minimum of five cosponsors, four cosponsors and forty signatures, three cosponsors and sixty signatures, 2 cosponsors and eighty signatures or one hundred signature petition on behalf of the proposal before the individual can submit the proposal to city hall and begin the general signature gathering process. Each individual may only submit or cosponsor one proposal to city hall or the Regional Governor's office. An individual may also modify a proposal submitted to city hall and then present an alternate proposal to city hall. If changes are made to the proposal and the proposal is resubmitted to city hall all prior signatures gathered for the proposal will be void and much be resubmitted to be considered valid. All county proposals submitted through city hall and all regional and national proposals submitted through the regional governors office will go through the law review process unless the submitter of the proposal formally declines the option in writing. Proposals submitted to city hall must be designated from the designers as one of three options: creation of new law, alteration of existing law or removal of existing law.   Each proposal is also designated as having one of six types: county law, regional law, national law, powers of authority(Regional), powers of authority(National), or amendments to the constitution. New law is a subject that has not yet been dealt with through the law in its present form, but still may also alter or remove existing law. An alteration to existing law is a law within a subject that already has the basis of existing law where the general purpose and formation of the law remains relatively consistent. Alterations to existing law require specific line and or word amendments and or deletions from locations within the present law or one hundred signatures. Removal of existing law is when an existing law or the existing direction of that law or laws has been radically altered or voided entirely. Any and all options within the proposal review process may be declined, however, the benefits of that process will be declined as well. Once submitted and affirmed through five cosponsors the proposal will be submitted for online debate if it has not already been done so. Online members may e-mail the submitter with questions or potential issues within the proposal submitted.(Created: 12/29/06 – Revised: 7/05/07)

When submitting a proposal to city hall each cosponsor and the sponsor are required to meet individually with a city attorney or law enforcement agent.  The attorney is required to inform each cosponsor and the sponsor of their rights and duties within the creation of law process.  If it is reported for the cosponsor or sponsor that sponsorship or cosponsorship did not come through voluntary or free will means the city attorney is required to issue an investigation into the matter.  When all separate meetings with the sponsor and cosponsors are complete the sponsor and cosponsors together will meet before a judge and swear an oath, each placing their hand on the Bible, or their holy book, to uphold the integrity of the Democracy and the right of the people there of. Holy Books must be ratified under the powers of authority national vote. The city judge or attorney may not be a relative of the sponsor or cosponsor. The Cosponsors must be responsible adults and may not be the parent, child, dependent or employee of the individual who submits the proposal. Cosponsors may remove their sponsorship from any given proposal, however, a new cosponsor will be needed before the proposal maybe moved forward, unless the proposal has already been placed on the ballot as a ballot initiative.  A cosponsor that resigns his cosponsorship will not be able to provide sponsorship or cosponsorship for another proposal for four years from the date resignation, unless they submit a statement of decent against the proposal and allow themselves  to be called in the Causa Enim Novo in opposition to the proposal if submitted.  The cosponsor may resubmit to the same proposal without consequence provided no other sponsor or cosponsorship has been established. If a sponsor resends his name the proposal is rescinded.  When rescinded by the sponsor the cosponsors may not sponsor or cosponsor another proposal for one years time. The sponsor may not sponsor or cosponsor any proposal for three years time.  The sponsor and cosponsor of any proposals may only present a new proposal after the existing proposal is passed or rejected through the vote.  (Revised: 7/05/07)

Upon submitting a proposal to City Hall, through the mail or in person, the individual who submitted the proposal will be provided with all the organizations who are licensed to review proposals. Each regional college and university which receives funds from the regional governor is required to provide a review board open to individuals who submit proposals.  To proposals submitted as an alteration of existing law, the reviewers are required to receive copies of the existing law to be altered in addition to the proposal submitted.  For proposals designated as a removal of existing law a reasonable amount of the laws that will be affected through the proposal must also be submitted. The reviewers will been given up to three months to fully analyze the proposal submitted. Reviewers will be made up of college professors from the area of study most closely related to the proposal submitted or maybe hired on for the soul purpose of reviewing submitted proposals with the qualifications determined through the department of education for such positions.  Reviewers under the public payroll will receive compensation for their efforts. The review board may also be available as a service of city government and or provided through private, religious or secular, organizations as determined through county or regional vote as structured through this constitution.  If a reviewer has previously submitted and passed a proposal within the same subject matter he may endorse the proposal submitted as part of the review process.  Endorsement of this type will lower the number of signatures required by 15%, provided the jury in the Causa Enim Novo agrees that the two proposals were related.  Costs to the individual submitting for the review must be deemed reasonable, under the guidelines set up through regional vote for colleges and universities or county vote for other public services offered through county government, for those offered through government sponsored entities.  The reviewers must be responsible adults and may not be the parent, child, dependent or employee of the individual or cosponsor who submits the proposal.  The reviewers are expected to submit questions to the individual who submitted the proposal, which must come in a matter and time that will be in the interests of the individual who submitted the proposal.  If this cannot be accomplished the reviewer may contact one of the proposals cosponsors. After the passage of three months the individual who submitted the proposal and the cosponsors will hear the opinions of the reviewers with a written printout of all the potential issues within the proposal submitted. Cosponsors not present will be sent the opinions through the mail or related technology of the age. From there the individual who submitted the proposal may have as long as he or she chooses to review and revise the legislation and may resubmit the proposal multiple times to correct issues from the review board.  The cost to resubmit a proposal to the same review board will be less than the initial cost and more timely than the initial review depending on the quantity of the alterations made and the work load of the reviewers. The individual who submits the proposal is not required to use any of the recommendations given to him from the review board. Following the review the individual who submitted the review is required to fill out an evaluation and score each of the reviewers.  Six months after the competition of the initial review board for the proposal the individual who submitted the proposal with the approval of his five cosponsors can submit to city hall for a "completion of thought" which will entitle him to a Causa Enim Novo. If one of the cosponsors will not submit the individual who submitted the proposal can seek out another cosponsor, however, the cosponsors disagreements will be noted for the trial and may be called to testify.  (Created: 12/28/06 - Revised: 1/18/07)

The city district attorney will be responsible for assigning a prosecutor to investigate all aspects of the county proposal submitted. The prosecutor will be given access to all reviews done on the proposal as well as all materials submitted from the cosponsors who declined to give final approval. The prosecutor will be required the score the materials submitted as well as the review opinions made by the review board. The average scores, one from the individuals who submit proposals to the reviewers and the other from the prosecutors who use the reviewers notes for trial, for each review board will be available to general public both online as well as the available reviewer documentation given out through City Hall. The prosecutor may call the current writers of an law being challenged to take the stand against any proposal.   Individuals taking the stand for the prosecution have the right to be compensated for their time in an amount specified through county vote for county court or regional vote for regional or national court. The individual who submitted the proposal has a right to seek trial in no less than three months time after submitting for a completion of thought, unless it is shown that the individual has intentionally mislead investigators or concealed vital information about the proposal. The costs for the trial will be covered under the city budget. Twelve jury members will be randomly selected from the same jury pool used for criminal and civil cases.   Jurors must be randomly selected responsible adults from that city.  The Judge, Prosecutor, and Jurors may not be the friend, relative, or employee of the individual or cosponsors who submitted the proposal.   Jury is required to read over the proposal thoroughly.  Accommodations will be made available for jury members who are blind, deaf, or need translation services.  If the Judge feels that the proposal is unconstitutional, except for, amendments to democracy proposals, he can submit the proposal to a constitutional hearing.  The hearing will consist of five judges.  The prosecutor will make the case of unconstitutionality before them and the individual who submitted the bill will have the right to defend the proposal.    If a majority of the judges believe the proposal is unconstitutional the proposal will be void.  After the trial begins both the prosecutor and the individual submitting the proposal will submit their arguments to the jury, the prosecutor against the proposal and the individual submitting for the proposal. At the end of trial each jury member will cast their vote either for or against the proposal. Also the jury must establish whether the proposal submitted is: creation of new law, alteration of existing law or removal of existing law.   The individual who submitted the proposal may also make alterations and resubmit the proposal to City Hall with ten cosponsors or a new petition of 200 signatures. If the individual decides to go through the review process a second time he may not be granted a "Completion of Thought" for one full year following the trial. After three trials alterations must be made and approved through the court of appeals before the proposal may be resubmitted for trial. (Created: 12/29/06 - Revised: 1/8/07)

If a majority of jurors vote that the proposal submitted represents an alteration to existing law than the total number of signature required will be reduced by 25%. For county proposals each vote from a juror in favor of the proposal submitted will decrease the signatures required by 1/20th of the signatures required by the county. If a tie or majority of jury members voted in favor of the proposal and the individual who submitted the proposal allowed for online debate the people of that county may submit their signature for the proposal through the online forum and through local city library and college library system located within that county.  If a majority of jury members voted against the proposal, the proposal will be removed from online debate and will not be allowed online signature gathering, however, the number of signatures required to place the proposal on the ballot will still be reduced by the number of jury members who voted for the proposal.

If a tie or majority of jury members voted in favor of the proposal and this is the first city that has granted completion of thought the proposal will be granted access to the online National Proposals Guild.  Amendments to Democracy proposals require a majority vote.

The national proposals guild is a part of the interactive democracy web site and is open to the general public, however, only national proposals that have not completed the steps required to begin the signature gathering process will be stored here. To begin the signature gathering process the national proposal must have six completions of thought from no less than six different cities ratified by people of those cities. This may be done through three methods, union of national proposals, modifications of national proposals and representing the same national proposal in a different city or county each facilitated through the guild. When the same national proposal is cast in a city hall it will be logged in a national database online so that people will know the status of each case. Also when the same proposal is cast for city hall the review process must come from a different source than previously used for the national proposal. A union of proposals is when two unique national proposals become one.  Modifications of proposals is when the same proposal is submitted in a different city, but has been modified from its original version. Unions and modifications require approval from both sponsors of the proposals before they may be seen as one bill.  Those people submitting the same bill may not stop a proposal from being altered, but may remove support from a proposal if modification is made.   Each proposal through the Guild must be listed by their type, key word searches and other options must be available to the general public for ease of use. When six completion's of thought are obtained and the individual who submitted the proposal allowed for online debate the people of the nation may submit their signature for the proposal through the online forum and through the college library system located within that county. 

To accomplish this any individual or individuals who wish to place a proposal or proposals on the ballot must receive a percentage of signatures from other persons in that county.  Signatures must be retrieved on a voluntary basis. Face to face solicitation for signatures or over the phone solicitation for signatures may only conducted through voluntary means. Signature advertising through the media is considered free speech. Anyone may, however, reserve the right not to receive political solicitation through, over the phone, through the mail, through E-mail or related methods of communication. The percentage or  number of signatures required to place a proposal on the ballot as well as how soon those signatures must be turned in is determined by county vote the county council will be responsible for determining the dates, times and the appropriate number of signatures for the next election cycle in the absence of county law specifications. County council alterations to signatures deadlines and requirements will not take effect until the following election cycle, with the exception of the first election cycle of the democracy. The percentage used and the time frame by which these signatures may be turned in may not be determined by either regional or national vote. In order that democracy is preserved if there are fewer than five proposals county proposals are on the ballot in any given election cycle, the county will put in additional proposals in the order of most signatures collected until at least five local proposals are on the ballot. This will include proposals submitted during previous election cycles in that county that failed to achieve the needed amount of signatures to place that proposal on the ballot. In the event the number of signatures is equal the submitted proposals with the most seniority, according to the dates submitted to city hall, will have the right to be placed on the ballot. Therefore the first proposals submitted after the deadline will be considered the first in line of the next election cycle. Signatures and attempted proposals do not expire until after the proposal has been voted on.   Signatures may only be removed by the voluntarily consent of the signer. Proof of identity must be established before such an act is successful. The penalties for signature and voter fraud may be established by National Mandate, however, county vote for such penalties will super cede such laws. The county will pay all costs to put a proposal on the ballot.  To pass the proposal must receive a majority vote from the citizens in that county as well as at least 2/5 majority vote from all cities, towns and villages in the county. If that county passes the proposal it will then be sent to the Regional Court.  To become law the Regional Court must rule that the ballot measure does not does not conflict with the words written in this constitution for county law. If the proposal is pronounced unconstitutional from the guidelines written in (The Regional and National Courts) the proposal does not become law.  The sponsors and cosponsors may divide the proposal and themselves in to one set of sponsors and cosponsors for a proposal for national mandate provisions of the proposal, one set of sponsors and cosponsors for a powers of authority proposal and one set of sponsors and cosponsors for amendment proposal as determined among themselves through recommendations by the regional court so that the ideas original proposals may be preserved in their appropriated segments. The sponsor may modify and resubmit the proposal or appropriately divided proposals to the court one year following the trial. The divided proposals are granted the same privileges to retain original signatures as mergers. To resubmit to the court at least 60% of the proposals cosponsors must approve. If approved as constitutional by the court the proposal will be place on the ballot a second time. If passed the proposal will become law. No further constitutionality tests will be required. (11/28/07)

The Mayor of any town may hold a town hall meeting on any regional proposal that has passed the Regional Courts as being constitutional or any county proposal that has passed Causa Enim Novo with a majority vote in that county that has begun the signature gathering process with greater than a thousand signatures from the private sector (profit or not for profit), not including signatures from relatives of the mayor, employees of government, government agency or department there in.  Such meetings must be open to the public and allow both pro and con sides of the proposal to speak without fear or intimidation. To accommodate this residents of the city should be allowed to call in to hear and when technology is cost efficient to view the discussion as well as make comments in the time allotted to them. The previous call in requirements may be waved for small towns and villages if cost is considered extensive. The discussion should documented and available to the residence of the city and the press free of charge for a minimum of four months following the town hall meeting. The public will have the right to submit their signature after proof of ID has been established to the proposal being submitted. After hearing the discussion the mayor will publicly cast or withhold his signature from the proposal submitted. In addition to the other signatures gathered the mayors signature is worth 100 signatures for local county proposals and a 1000 signatures for national proposals when cast publicly within a town hall meeting where the subject of the meeting is the proposal in question. Each signature from a Regional Ambassador for a national proposal is worth 15,000 signatures. Regional Ambassadors may only endorse a proposal after it has been endorse by twenty-five mayors in their region. The signatures must be turned in at least one year prior to the election to be considered valid. Signatures do not expire until after a proposal has been placed on the ballot, therefore those proposals that did not receive sufficient signatures to place the proposal on the ballot they may be carried over and added to until enough signatures are gathered.  After one hundred thousand signatures from a combination of a minimum of ten counties have been obtained all regional and national proposals types except for Amendments will be tried before the Regional Court to verify its constitutionality. National and Regional proposals may not be signed by any regional governor or placed on the ballot until receiving a minimum of one million signatures and being approved through the Regional Court as constitutional. The prosecuting attorney will be selected from the Bureau of Internal Investigation for that region. If the amount of these proposals is greater than 20 than the number of signatures required will be increased by 100,000. If fewer than 10 are available the number signatures required will be reduced by 50,000. Signature requirements will be re-evaluated after each General Election. Amendments to Democracy will be tried before a jury of law makers.  Regional proposals that have become law will be available to the other regions as a regional proposal for people in those regions to sign for. Regional proposals of this nature will start with a million signatures.  All regional and national proposals placed on the ballot will be entitled to at least one public debate.  The cosponsors and sponsors of the proposal will vote among themselves as for their representative in the debate. The opposing argument chosen by the person or entity who has provided the most funding in opposition to the proposal.  (Revised: 11/28/07)

Any modification to a national proposal that has made it past the national proposals guild, but still has less than a hundred thousand endorsed signatures will require the proposal to go through the review process as well as the trial of Causa Enim Novo from any of the five original cities where the trials were held. To allow for the possibility of multiple modifications and unions the trial of Causa Enim Novo will not be held for at least six months following the the most recent modification unless the hundred thousand signatures goal has been accomplished. The trial will consist of all the modifications and unions that have made up until the present date, rather than an additional trial for each individual modification. The prosecution may delay a trial for up to three months following the most recent modification to allow time to reexamine the proposal. A tie or majority vote from the jury will be required to accept the modifications made. Amendments to Democracy proposals will require a majority vote. The existing signers will be sent an e-mail or related technology notification so that they may remove their support, due to the modification(s) made if they choose to do so. After a hundred thousand signatures have been granted approval from modifications made must be done through the Regional Courts to verify the constitutionality of the state of the proposal after the modification, except for amendments to democracy which must go through the trial of law makers. To allow for the possibility of multiple modifications or unions the trial will not be held for at least six months following the the most recent modification unless the million signatures goal has been accomplished. The trial will consist of all the modifications and unions that have made up until the present date, rather than an additional trial for each individual modification. No proposal may be modified or merged after it has been endorsed by the governor as a national mandate or placed on the ballot. Any union or modification of two or more national proposals will require approval from at least four of the five cosponsors, plus the original sponsors from all uniting proposals.    The Union of proposals will take on the date of the most recent proposal for considering proposal expiration, unless the two proposals are identical, in which case the proposal with the oldest date will be taken for purposes of proposal expiration. When merging two national proposals where one proposal has gathered more than twice the amount of signatures as the other, the cosponsors of the proposal with the most signatures may required all but the original sponsor to remove their sponsorship as a requirement for acceptance. Cosponsors who are removed may not cosponsor or sponsor further proposals until either the national proposal has been placed on the ballot or after the passage of three years. Amendments to Democracy proposal may only merger with another amendment to democracy proposal. Proposals with less than a hundred thousand signatures joining with a national proposal of greater than a hundred thousand signatures will have to go through the same process.  Amendments to Democracy require greater than a million signatures. For people or public officials that signed both national proposals prior to the union the value of their signature will not be doubled. When the merging proposals represent a Union of unique proposals, as determined by the jury of the merge, the proposal will receive ten signatures for each jury vote in favor of the merging proposal. In addition to that Five signatures will be added to each jury vote in favor of the proposal where the merging national or regional proposal where the merging proposal has not had Causa Enim Novo from that county and an addition ten signatures per jury vote in regions where the Causa Enim Novo has had no trial in that region. Sponsors and Cosponsors that reject a proposed merger must give some justification and may be subpoened to testify against the proposal. (Revised: 7/6/07)

National and Regional proposals may offer mergers on the basis of non-binding sponsorship. Non-binding sponsorship means that the cosponsors will loose their cosponsorship of the national proposal. Cosponsorships who disagree with the merger and submit a letter of disagreement to the regional courts and city hall may cosponsor another proposal after one year. They must vote against the merger in order to claim this. If disagreement is not filed the cosponsors may not cosponsor any proposal for five years, unless the proposal is placed on the ballot or the non-binder sponsor submitted letters of retraction.  If the sponsor of the proposal agrees to non-binding sponsorship so that he may merge with another national proposal he may not cast votes for modifications or unions of other national proposals. If the language of the modification or union of another proposal alters or nullifies the proposal of the non-binding, the non-binding sponsor has the right to seek retraction of signatures gained from the non-binding merger. After retraction of signatures if the sponsor can gather twenty five cosponsors through the guild or through other means the sponsor may retain the proposal as a national proposal with the same number of signatures as that prior to the merger, else the proposal will become void after one years time.  After the original proposal becomes void the cosponsors and the sponsors of the voided proposal may not sponsor or cosponsor any other proposal for one years time.

To achieve a national mandate provision it must be signed by the regional governor.  Each governor may only sign one national proposal per term or two county laws, the national proposal will require a majority national vote as well as a majority vote in at least 3/7s of all counties it will become law of the land. Governors will be granted preference, in the those with the greatest majority vote in the last election having priority in the selection of national voting slots available. County laws to qualify for a Governor endorsement must have already pass more counties than 90 percent of other county laws with no fewer than passage in five counties. The county laws signed by the Governor will be placed on the ballot in all counties throughout the nation. The first national county laws endorsed will take place during domestic primary elections. However the proposal will become law in all counties where the proposal is pasted with a majority vote as well as at least a 2/5s majority of all cities, towns and villages in that county. A National Mandate provision may be used as a national vote to recall (one National court justice), (two Regional court justices) or (one regional court justice and one local proposal nationally). National proposal signed must show how much political funding their sponsors, cosponsors and signers sent the governor collectively. The Governor may not mention any opinions about a national proposal until the proposal has obtained enough signature to qualify for the governor’s endorsement. Any violation of mandate laws is to be prosecuted by the Regional Ambassador. Penalties for such crimes are to be determined through powers of authority proposals. Personal and Business Bankruptcy laws may only be established through national mandate proposals (Revised: 1/8/07)

a. Collective Responsibility Laws (National Mandates)

Collective Responsibility Laws may affect the financial responsibilities of each individual citizen, business, or city budget or some combination of the three. Collective Responsibility Laws may only set up standards of behavior and limitations to bureaucracy on the general public to receive the intended service.  Collective Responsibility Laws may not specifically. In order to avoid monopolistic practices the Collective Responsibility Laws may not decide whether the institution providing the service or standard is public, private, or mandate any specific manufacture or company name, as this responsibility will remain with the county government determined by the people who reside there. Collective Responsibility laws must consider the cost of living for the individual areas in regard to reimbursement or services. Collective Responsibility Laws are carried out on the county level, under the budget authority of the city level through the office of the mayor. It is the responsibility of the Regional Government, through the regional courts to ensure the mayors are living up to their financial obligations. The reviews of collective responsibility mandate proposals will take place when they reach eligibility for a governor’s endorsement. Each mayor is responsible to provide through the city budget for collective responsibility national mandates allowing the mayor at least one full term after passage so that the mayor’s budget may adequately prepare for the funding requirements. City budget collective responsibilities include, but may be expanded or decreased through national public vote: healthcare for all veterans, elderly poor as determined by public vote, elderly poor financial assistance as determined by public vote. Elderly assistance laws may apportion the percentage of financial assistance from the cities of their working lives considering the income make and the years worked. Financial data will be recorded through the financial credit bureaus. The city, rather than the individual is required to collect from other city governments in accordance with national law. Issues in regard to collections will subject the city rather than the citizen to loss, however, the city take remote cities to regional court for collection of funds. The Internal Bureau of Investigation for each regional will be responsible to determine whether the Collective Responsibility Mandates suppresses either city or county rights for the average citizen to have a voice in the process or to alter the given progress through the county law creation process. The IBI will also be responsible to determine if the process will undermine the financial integrity of the mayoral budget. If an equal or majority of IBIs believe that the integrity of the mayoral budget has been compromised or the rights of county votes to alter their county government as they see fit a national majority as well as 4/7s majority of counties with majority votes will be required for passage. After merger or modification the proposal maybe resubmitted after six months time. If further mergers or modifications are done and the proposal is not resubmitted before a governor’s signature a second review will be required prior to the election an 7 out of 10 vote, or greater, from the Regional Ambassadors against a Collective Responsibility Mandate Proposal will allow the Regional Ambassadors to declare a mayoral vote. The Regional Ambassadors must state their reason’s publicly before the nation. The Regional Ambassadors are to set a date for the mayoral vote no less than one month prior to the election. The vote will take place, each mayor in his own city, in a town hall meeting format. The people of the city will be allowed to be heard both pro and con before the mayor. At the end of the meeting the mayor will publicly state his or her reasons for or against the bill and cast their vote. If more than 2/3rds of the mayors reject the proposal it will void the governor’s signature, and there will be no vote on the bill. If the proposal is void and the time before the election is greater than six months than the governor may endorse one county proposal for the national election.  

A national county mandate maybe overturned within the borders of any given county if:  In that particular county a majority voted against the mandate, the mandate is not a national project and the County Council unanimously agrees to strike the mandate down.   After the passing of those events the County Council must then meet with the governor of their region for a compromise bill.  The governor shall carry the weight of 50% of the vote.   3/5-majority vote is needed for approval. If accepted the law of compromise will be sent to the Regional Court where a special session will be held to see if the law is constitutional as well as a true compromise and not new legislation. If the governor losses reelection, or decides not to run for reelection, the ex-governor will still be allowed to meet for a law of compromise will be same rights as a sitting governor for that proposal, unless the governor was removed from office through impeachment or resignation. Governors may not meet for a law of compromise on national county proposals they did not endorse, except when the successor governor was appointed due to the death of the signing governor. Then the law will be presented on the annual ballet where a majority vote from all counties involved is required.

National Proposals and Regional Proposals designated as powers of authority may not be endorsed as a national mandate from the regional governor. National and Regional Powers of Authority proposals if passed may not be overturned or altered through National Mandates, unless the Power of Authority law gives it the power to do so. National Powers of Authority are limited to proposals that to limits on the powers of the UN Ambassador, the President, Foreign Bureaus of Investigation and/or Inspectors from the democracy. Trials of Powers of Authority Proposals will be prosecuted by representative from all Bureaus affected by the proposal submitted. The Internal Bureau of Investigation may always have a right to have a representative present if they choose to do so. Regional Proposals are limited to the Regional Governor, Regional Ambassador and the Bureaus under them.  Regional Powers of authority may not alter the relationship between the Regional Governor and the National Council or between the Regional Governor and the National Ambassador. Regional Powers of Authority Proposals carry the same weight as National Proposals, except only exist for the region. The Regional Power of Authority proposal with the greatest number of signatures will placed on the ballot during the foreign primary election. The most recent powers of authority will be given precedence over older powers of authority proposals. Laws affecting the powers of the mayors are to remain with the county law through public vote, except where specified in this document. For Regional Powers of Authority Proposals affecting Regional Ambassador may only be placed on the ballot if over 60% of the mayors in that region approve, which the Regional Ambassador for that region may stop with a veto.   A 75% vote of support from the mayors of that region may over ride the veto. National Powers of Authority may also limit which types of proposals may be allowed a national mandate provision. The national powers and regional powers of authority proposals with the most signatures will be allowed on the ballot during the domestic general election. A National Power of Authority Proposal may be used as a national vote to recall a High Court Justice.

a. Powers of Authority (Regional Ambassador)

Once every two years when the mayors cast their vote for the Regional Ambassador a powers of authority proposal establishing the conduct required between the regional ambassador and the mayors will be placed before the mayors for a regional vote. A 60% vote of approval will make the proposal a regional powers of authority proposal, provided the Regional Courts find the proposal constitutional. Such proposals, passed by the mayors, may not place restrictions on the people through county vote to place restrictions on their mayors or on the powers between the mayors and the governor as these powers are to remain under people through public vote.

Amendment Proposals may alter any and all aspects of the Democracy. Ballot initiatives only take place each Semi-Centennial and 20 year election and may not be endorsed as a national mandate from the Regional Governor. Amendments if passed hold supremacy over all laws and may only be overturned or modified through another Amendment. Passage requires a majority vote in each county in the nation for the first fifty years after ratification of this constitution.  Each Semi-Centennial will drop the number of counties by 10 percentage points, ie: 90%, 80%, etc., until all that is required is a majority vote as well as at least fifty percent of all counties.

The Trial of Law makers functions in the same manor and layout of the Causa Enim Novo with the following exceptions: Trial of Law makers will take place through the Regional courts in the region where the first Causa Enim Novo was held for the proposal.   At 100,000 signatures a representative from Internal Bureau of Investigation will be responsible for prosecuting the case. The Representative from the Internal Bureau of Investigation will be required to call upon the National Regional or External Bureau of Investigation (or a combination of Bureaus) to maintain applicable prosecution.  For The jury will be randomly selected from the people of that region who were the sponsors of county ballot propositions that became law. Only proposals with a majority majority vote of approval from the jury, rather than a tie, will pass the trial of law makers. Trial of Law makers do not submit a completion of thought or reduce signatures required for ballot initiatives.

The National Council is required to set up an Internet site, and/or best technology of the time, which contains all submitted proposals that have not been voted down by the voters, seen as unconstitutional by the Regional courts, or time limitations expired through the guidelines of this document. This includes national, regional, and county and city measures with access to see their entire text.
