Prelude
On March 31, 2020 the Terraconserva Council of Nations passed Resolution 015 which established a global Joint Education Committee.[1] The Quebecshirite delegation to the TCN voted against Resolution 015 on the basis that it would likely be unconstitutional.[2]
"We believe the resolution is well-intended and that the Kingdom of Faro has the development of many disadvantaged people at heard. However, the Quebecshirite delegation must vote against as this resolution most likely contradicts the Constitution of Quebecshire. Title I Clause VI of the Constitution reads "National sovereignty is absolute and resides in the will of the Quebecshirite population," and Title I Clause VII states No section of the Quebecshirite population or any individual therein may expropriate the popular sovereignty of Quebecshire. If this resolution does pass, it will likely lead to a lawsuit before the High Council which would determine Quebecshire's specific response to it, but as of this time, we must vote in opposition. Quebecshire participates and abides by many internationally directed TCN resolutions for the diplomatic advancement of the world, but this is likely to be a domestic policy infringement in an unconstitutional fashion."

Despite the protests of several delegations, Resolution 015 passed the TCN with a vote count of 7-5-4.[4] Sometime after this passage Cesout Bonhom announced that Quebecshire would not enforce the resolution domestically due to possible conflictions with the Constitution of Quebecshire.[5] Shortly after this announcement the Terraconserva Foreign Policy Institute in Quebecshire (TFPIQ) filed a lawsuit against the Administration of International Cooperation and Diplomacy before the High Council, asserting that they had to abide by and enforce Resolution 015 and its contents.[6]
