Constitution of Leonistria

The Constitution of Leonistria is the supreme law of India. The document lays down the framework that demarcates fundamental political code, structure, procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles, and the duties of citizens. It is the longest written national constitution in the world.

It imparts constitutional supremacy and was adopted by its people with a declaration in its preamble. Parliament cannot override the constitution.

It was adopted by the State Regency Council of Leonistria, the Provisional Government. The constitution replaced the Interim Constitution as the country's fundamental governing document, and the Provisional Government of Leonistria became the Kingdom of Leonistria.

The constitution declares India a sovereign, Tamil Hindu Absolute Monarchy based on Divine Right Theory, assures its citizens justice, equality, and liberty, and endeavors to promote fraternity. The King of Leonistria personally drafted the constitution and passed it in the National Council and ratifed it.
