Title
Constitution of the Norfolk Empire
Preamble
We, the citizens of the Norfolk Empire, having solemnly resolved to constitute the Norfolk Empire into a Semi-Parliamentary Monarchy and to secure to all its citizen's justice, liberty, freedom, and equality.
This provided constitution is the law of the land and will guide the citizens of the Norfolk Empire and the status of it shall be kept like that for the existence of the Norfolk Empire or this provided constitution. This constitution will be followed by all citizens living in the Norfolk Empire.
In our constituent Parliament this twenty-fifth day of June 2019, do hereby adopt, enact and give to ourselves this constitution.
Article I
1,1
Legislative powers herein distributed shall be vested in the Royal Family and a Parliament of the Norfolk Empire, which shall consist of a House of Commons.
1,2
The House of Commons shall be composed of representative chosen every third month by the people of the subdivisions of the Norfolk Empire, and the electors in each subdivision shall have the qualifications essential for electors of the most numerous branch of the subdivision legislature, if one is created by the head of the subdivision. No citizen shall be a Member of Parliament who shall not have attained to the age of ten years, and been a citizen of the United States with a valid citizenship certificate, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that subdivision in which he shall be elected. The House of Commons and the Office of the Prime Minister shall have elections every two months with no term limits. The Royal Family and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the valid citizens of the union, which may be included within this union, will be taxed one single Norish Valora, which is equivalent to five United States Dollar or around seven to six Canadian Dollars. Thirty percent of that five United States Dollar will be given to a charity of the person be taxed choice, which is around one United States Dollar and sixty-sixty United States Cents. That charitable portion of the tax leaves about three United States Dollars and thirty-four United States Cents. That amount of money will be collected by the sitting Emperor of the Norfolk Empire and it shall be distributed to the current departments or projects of the Government equally. This tax will be a monthly tax and if a citizen can not pay taxes or refuses to do so, the citizen can do a project assigned to him or her by the Royal Family in a set time period. The number of Members of Parliament shall not exceed one for three citizens, but each subdivision shall have at least one Member of Parliament. When vacancies happen in the Representation from any subdivision, the sitting Emperor of the Royal Family shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies. The House of Commons shall choose their speaker and other officers; and shall have the sole power of impeachment of the Prime Minister of the Norfolk Empire.
1,3
The times, places and manner of holding elections for Members of Parliament, shall be prescribed by the Duke and Duchess of the subdivision. The Parliament shall assemble at least once in every month.
1,4
Each political party shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner, and under such penalties as each political party may provide. Each political party may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member. Each political party shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment require secrecy; and the yeas and nays of the members of either political party on any question shall, at the desire of one-fifth of those present, be entered on the journal. None of the political parties in the union, during the session of Parliament, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than four days, nor to any other place than that in which the multiple parties shall be sitting.
1,5
The sitting Members of Parliament shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid by the Royal Family. No sitting Member of Parliament shall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the current Royal Family or the emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time.
1,6
All bills for raising revenue and taxes shall be debated in the House of Commons, the only House of Parliament, and then be either approved or denied by the Prime Minister the Royal Family, as all normal bills would. Every bill which shall have passed the House of Commons, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the sitting Prime Minister of the Norfolk Empire; if he or she approve he or she shall sign it, but if not, he or she shall return it, with his objections to that House of Commons in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to reconsider it. When the Prime Minister approves the bill, then it will be given to the Royal Family to further debate and be approved or disapproved. If a bill is disapproved by the Royal Family, it will be sent back to the House of Commons. If after such reconsideration two thirds of the House of Commons shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objections, it will go the Prime Minister and the whole process will repeat until the bill has been approved by the Royal Family or it was dropped by the Members of Parliament who wrote the bill. But in all such cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journal of each House respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the Prime Minister or the Royal Family within fifteen days after it shall have been presented to both of those offices, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he or she had signed the bill. Every order, resolution, or vote to which the concurrence of the House of Commons may be necessary (except on a question of adjournment) shall be presented to the Prime Minister of the Norfolk Empire and the Royal Family; and before the same shall take effect, shall be approved by him or her, or being disapproved by him or her, shall be re-passed by two thirds of the House of Commons, according to the rules and limitations prescribed in the case of a bill.
1,7
The Parliament shall have power to borrow money on the credit of the Norfolk Empire, coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures, define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the waters of the Norfolk Empire, and offenses against the law of other macronations and micronations, promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries, provide for calling forth the military execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasion, and to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the Norfolk Empire, or in any department or officer thereof. With the list of powers above, this would allow the Parliament to have forty percent of the government’s power. The Royal Family shall have the power to regulate commerce with foreign macronations and micronations, and among the subdivisions, establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the Norfolk Empire, provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current currency of the Norfolk Empire, establish post offices and post roads, declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water, provide and maintain a navy, make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces, provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the military, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the Norfolk Empire, reserving to the subdivisions respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Parliament, and exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such subdivision as may, by cession of particular subdivision, the acceptance of Parliament, become the seat of the government of the Norfolk Empire, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the Duke and Duchess of the subdivision in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings. With the list of powers above, this would allow the Royal Family to have sixty percent of the government’s power.
1,8
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed. No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken and the Royal Family has approved the Parliament can take that responsibility. No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any subdivision. No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one subdivision over those of another, nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one subdivision, be obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in another. Members of the direct Royal Family, such as the Emperor, Empress, Prince, or Princess can run for a seat in the House of Commons or the Office of the Prime Minister. Duke and Duchesses of subdivisions are allowed to run for a seat in the House of Commons.
1,9
No subdivision shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation, grant letters of marque and reprisal, coin money, emit bills of credit, pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility without permission from the Royal Family. No subdivision shall, without the consent of the Parliament, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection laws. No state shall, without the consent of Parliament, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another subdivision, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
Article II

He or she shall hold his or her office during the term of two months, and, together with the Deputy Prime Minister, chosen for the same term, be elected, as follows: The citizens of the Norfolk Empire will vote between multiple candidates of their choice for the Prime Minister of the Norfolk Empire. After the voting session has concluded, the Emperor, which is the head of the Royal Family, will announce the winner of the election based on if a candidate has more than fifty percent of the votes. If that candidate has more than fifty percent of the votes, they will win the election. If the candidate does not have more than fifty percent of the votes, there will be a second round of election between that candidate and the second most popular candidate. After that, then the Emperor will announce the next Prime Minister of the Norfolk Empire. The Royal Family may determine the time that the first and second voting session will be begin and end and what day it will be on.

The Prime Minister shall, at stated times, receive for his or her services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he or she shall have been elected, and he or she shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the Norfolk Empire or any of the subdivisions.

The Prime Minister can only do the listed objectives above with the permission of the Royal Family, as they would usually do those things.
