Legislation of Montescano
The Legislation in Montescano was carried out via two primary modes. Acts of the Council of State were passed by the Council of State by majority voted and enterwd into law only after being granted princely assent by the Monarch. Princely decrees were issued unilaterally by the Monarch.
Acts
Acts of the Council of State were laws passed by the Council of State. They were the primary means of legislation and could overturn any other law (including previous Acts of the Council of State) except for the Statute.
Enactment
Acts of the Council of State were proposed by a Councillor, after which they may be debated and amended. For an act to pass, 50% + 1 vote of all Councillors must gave their approval to the Act. It then passed on to the Monarch, who chose whether or not to grant Consent to the Act - if Consent was given, the Act becomes law by being publicized in the State Gazette.
