An Amendment to Increase the Democracy within the Restored Extra Solar Union of Systems
Recent events have made clear to several member worlds that executive power within our alliance is at an all time high. This realization has brought to the fore front a deepening concern that the Alliance does indeed place too much power on the executive forces, effectively bypassing those who make up the alliance itself.
These doubts have materialized in the following events:
The Attempted Amendment of the Constitution by the Prime
The Establishment of the Ejection Courtroom
Understanding the lack of Democratic Rights within the Alliance, the Colonial Imperia of Neo-Kalandria proposes the following amendments to the Constitution of the Restored Extra Solar Union of Systems, as permitted in Section 5, A of the Constitution.
I. Amendments to Section V of the Constitution:
Henceforth, Any new institutions within the ESUS shall formally be presented to the body of the Alliance, assembled in full, within The Courts. The body shall then vote on proposed institution, and with a majority vote of 2/3, the proposed institution shall be passed.
Henceforth, Should any institution found to be unnecessary, corrupt, or of ill behavior, a vote of 2/3 shall be enough to disestablish said constitution.
Henceforth, All federal positions within the ESUS shall be subject to the above clause.
II. Reversal of the ESUS Ejection Courtroom
Henceforth, As the ESUS Ejection Courtroom was established without any sort of popular approval, the ESUS Ejection Courtroom and the ESUS Executioner shall be disestablished.
Henceforth, The ESUS Ejection Courtroom may be reestablished if approved by a popular vote of 2/3.
Henceforth, To prevent the abuse of the powers of ejection, all trials of Ejection shall be handled by the Senior Directors, not an account created out of cowardice to face fellow nations.
Henceforth, Any charges brought against a member world to warrant ejection, must be supported with evidence of the strongest kind.
Henceforth, To ensure the validity of the evidence supplied, the identity of the member nation whom proposes ejection of another member is to be declared at the beginning of every trial.
Henceforth, If a member is found to have attempted to eject another for personal reasons and/or gain, they are subject to instant impeachment, and a vote will be held for said removal from the ESUS
