Declaration
The Declaration of the Establishment of a New Constitution for a Unified Quebecshirite State was signed by Yvon Delsarte and Arsène Champlain at the conclusion of the Orléans Negotiations. It established the Quebecshirite National Reorganization Council with the purpose of drafting and ratifying a new Constitution. This goal was fulfilled with the Constitution's ratification on September 16, 1624. The Declaration laid out the key points for Constitutional drafting, which are listed below.
- The abolition of the CMRQ and ARQ in favor of the Quebecshirite National Reorganization Council (CNRQ), which will govern the nation until the new Constitution was ratified and enforceable.
- The abolition of all governmental authorities and entities larger in jurisdiction than municipal bodies and smaller in jurisdiction than the national government of Quebecshire.
- The formation of a judiciary and directive High Council of Quebecshire to serve as an oversight and unifying body, headed by a Grandmaster, to satisfy the monarchist sentiments in Quebecshire.
- The formation and eventual election of a Parliament of Quebecshire to be headed by a Speaker of the Parliament to govern via legislation and satisfy Republican sentiments in Quebecshire.
- The adoption of the title of “Serene State” for Quebecshire to decline any implications of political leanings.
Summary
The Constitution of Quebecshire is the supreme governing document of the Serene State of Quebecshire. It mandates the primary governing bodies of the nation as well as delegates their authorities, and it outlines the foundation of citizenship as well as the rights, liberties, and responsibilities of the citizens of Quebecshire. The Constitution furthermore defines the identity of Quebecshire and its population.
The Constitution of Quebecshire authorizes two primary governing bodies:
The High Council of Quebecshire, which is endowed with the authority to oversee the Parliament, interpret the Constitution, create inferior courts and institutions that serve the High Council's constitutional purpose, debate and publish High Council Mandates, and consider Proclamations. The High Council is headed by the Grandmaster of Quebecshire, who is defined as the Head of State.
The Parliament of Quebecshire, which is endowed with the authority to debate and publish laws, manage the domestic and foreign affairs of Quebecshire, levy taxes, create inferior institutions for their constitutional purpose, and consider Proclamations. The Parliament is headed by the Speaker of the Parliament of Quebecshire, who is defined as the Head of Government.
The Constitution of Quebecshire authorizes and defines three types of superior legal documents:
A Proclamation, a document proposed either by the Grandmaster or Speaker of the Parliament of Quebecshire and must be approved by both a majority of the High Council and Parliament of Quebecshire. Proclamations typically dictate national policy in a time of crisis and are only inferior to the Constitution of Quebecshire.
A High Council Mandate, a document published by the Grandmaster with authorization by a majority of the High Council of Quebecshire that either formalizes an interpretation of the Constitution or authorizes a particular action or policy to enforce the Constitution or other constitutionally protected statutes.
A Parliamentary Law, a document passed by the Parliament of Quebecshire that functions are as a standard law, dictating a domestic or foreign policy.
