The Constitution of the United Federation of Aumarea, often the Constitution of the United Federation or the Constitution of Aumarea, is the supreme codified legal document of the United Federation of Aumarea. The document was ratified and has been enforced since 12 March 2023.
The constitution establishes the United Federation as a federal presidential constitutional republic. The constitution's first three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress (Article I); the executive, consisting of the President and subordinate officers (Article II); and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts (Article III). Article IV, Article V, and Article VI embody concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments, the states in relationship to the federal government, and the shared process of constitutional amendment. Article VII establishes the procedure subsequently used to ratify it and the date it would take effect after ratification. The constitution also bars the government from issuing titles of royalty or nobility and citizens from receiving them.
History
The creation of the constitution was a task undertaken by the Continental Congress, the first legislature of the nation. It took approximately 6 days to create and ratify. It was heavily influenced by the Constitution of the United States.
The development of the constitution began on 6 March 2023 - three days after the United Federation was established. The constitution was ratified on 12 March 2023 and can be seen as the de jure independence declaration - with the nation's establishment being the de facto independence declaration.
Amending Process
The procedure for amending the Constitution is outlined in Article V of the document.
Under the article, a proposal for an amendment must be adopted either by two-thirds of both Houses of Congress or by a national convention that had been requested by two-thirds of the state legislatures. Once the proposal has passed by either method, Congress must decide whether the proposed amendment is to be ratified by state legislatures or by state ratifying conventions.
A proposed amendment becomes an operative part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States.
Judicial Review
The role of the supreme court is heavily reliant on the constitution. The supreme court, as the highest federal court, is charged with interpreting constitutional law and its associate justices are typically required to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the constitution to be appointed to the court.
The way the Constitution is understood is influenced by court decisions, especially those of the Supreme Court. These decisions are referred to as precedents. Judicial review is the power of the Court to examine federal legislation, federal executive, and all state branches of government, to decide their constitutionality, and to strike them down if found unconstitutional.
