Proposed by: Zip (MP)
Written by: Zip
Serial Number: HB; 02.2018.0002
SHORT TITLE: MCCC
LONG TITLE: Motion to Convene a Constitutional Convention
Definitions
1. FNR - The Free Nations Region
2. Constitutional Convention - For the purposes of this motion, it is a convention in which current Citizens from FNR may become a Delegate. Delegates convene to create a new Constitution for FNR which they may amend and eventually adopt as the new official Constitution which replaces the old one.
Notations
1. NOTING that the current state of FNR's Constitution is in very poor condition and seems to have been neglected for a long time;
2. BELIEVING that it would be far more time-consuming to amend the existing Constitution into an acceptable state when compared to just starting fresh by creating a new one;
3. CONCLUDING that a Constitutional Convention is the only way to properly address FNR's existing constitutional issues in an effective manner,
HERE BY
1. MOTIONS to convene and initiate a Constitutional Convention in order to replace the existing FNR Constitution, with it lasting up to seven days from the moment of this motion's passing.
2. CLARIFIES that the Constitutional Convention deadline may be extended by a week at a time by a simple majority vote of the present Delegates if a Motion for Extension is passed. Once a 3/4 majority of the Delegation has approved the new Constitution, it shall become the new replacement for the old FNR Constitution.
3. ALLOWS for all FNR Citizens to be eligible to join the Constitutional Convention as a Delegate if they wish to do so, excluding any non-Citizens who are presently residing in FNR at the moment of this motion's passing and any non-Citizens who enter the region after its passage.
4. REAFFIRMS that a Constitutional Convention is the best possible option for improving FNR at its core by changing the very structure it is built on for the better. Through the will of the Citizens of FNR, this region shall finally retire an outdated relic from the past and accept a new, stronger foundation for its future.
