The Supreme Constitution of the Roscami Federation[1] is the fundamental law of Roscamistan, and the fourth constitution since independence. it was adopted on the 6th of March 2023.
The first Constitution was made by Thomas Jacobs, and replaced by the Second Constitution in November 2021, made by Doros Patusky, with his Constitution being abolished in June 2022.
History
First constitution
The first or independence constitution was created shortly after the Declaration of Independence in February 2021. This constitution was in essence the independence declaration with added sections regarding government and autonomous regions.
This constitution was also referred to rarely, with decrees often taking precedence.
Second constitution
The next constitution was adopted in November 2021. Minister Doros Patusky wrote it to replace the old one, deemed out of date. This constitution introduced the concept of directly-elected ministers, and reforms to the Presidency. Jacobs and his ironically named Liberal-Democratic Party induced a far-right coup d’etat to force its suspension.
In February 2022, a new legislature, the bicameral National Assembly was formed and added to the constitution, formed of the Senate and Chamber of Representatives.
In a decree signed by President Jacobs in June 2022, the Constitution was abolished, and in its place a number of laws, decrees and precedents were adopted as a Provisional Constitution.
Third Constitution
The Third Constitution, also called the Wyles Constitution (in name of the author) was the first constitution written by multiple people. A Constituent Assembly was formed by legislation to establish a new constitution.
Opposition politician Tobey Wyles wrote the bulk of the constitution, its defining features featuring a weak president, a strong legislature and a secular state. Catholic right wingers campaigned against it for these reasons. In January 2023, the Assembly passed the constitution, and sent it to referendum.
In a plot by the RPF on the 16th, a coup d’etat was launched. The constitution, only passed that morning was suspended and the opposition parties were banned. Over the day, the opposition launched numerous attacks and protests on the coup leaders. At the end of that day, the government announced it would go into exile. Ali Farrokhzad was made acting president, whilst Jacobs still held office in theory.
The constitution was suspended again the 17th, after a second coup induced by the government against the left wing leaders. This constitution was abolished afterwards.
Supreme (Fourth) constitution
The current constitution was created by Minister Matthew Tonna and President Jacobs. A remolded version of the previous constitution, this one introduced the Roscami Democratic Patriotic Front as the guiding political organisation, a strong president and a stringent system of checks and balances to form an anocratic system.
This constitution was passed by referendum from 1st to 6th March 2023, and ratified the day later. It has been amended several times, including reformatting it as a federal constitution and a new unicameral Congress. It was last amended February 2024.
