Constitution of Makko Oko

The Emperor's Law Council is the parliamentary body of the Empire Of Makko Oko, authorized under the Constitution of Makko Oko as a body authorized solely to propose laws to the Emperor for enactment. It is composed of judges and government officials, and serves as the legislative branch of the government.

Powers

Legislating

It is the right and authority of the Emperor's Law Council under the Basic Rights Of Makko Oko to draft and approve laws and amendments for recommendation to the Emperor Of Makko Oko for enactment. Unlike traditional parliaments, the Emperor's Law Council has no official authority to enact laws, and merely approves laws to then recommend they be enacted by the Emperor, who does hold that power.

Supervisory & Investigatory Powers

The Emperor's Law Council has the authority under the Devolution Of Council Authority Act Of 2022 to launch investigations and trials against non-executive government officials, and when the Emperor blesses, executive and ministerial government officials. The council may not launch investigations against their own members, instead those investigations falling onto the IEC, the Inspectorate's Court and, as authorized, the NSS.

Constitutional Amendments

The Emperor's Law Council has the full authority to pass amendments to the Constitution, otherwise known as the Basic Rights, to then be forwarded up to the Emperor for approval. This power was first seen on the 5th revision to the Basic Rights Of Makko Oko, which Emperor Conall Solis approved.

Commissions

The Emperor's Law Council has the right under the Devolution Of Council Powers Act Of 2022 to form and manage commissions for any reason or purpose. The commissions of the Emperor's Law Council can be seen below:

Meetings

The Emperor's Law Council has meetings called "sessions" that are of a yearly basis and they may be stopped at any point by the Emperor, and only the Emperor.
