The Ebrarian Constitution of 1983 was adopted on 15 June 1983, replacing the Ebrarian Constitution of 1943. The current Constitution has been deemed a "fusion" of theocratic and democratic facets. The text of the Constitution declares the Christian religion, representative government, social welfare, and traditional morality as core values of the Ebrarian state. The Preamble and Article 1 of the Constitution declares the subordination of the Ebrarian government to God, while simultaneously mandating democratic elections for the Presidency and Popular Assembly. The right to vote is only extended to Christian male citizens, but Parliament may extend suffrage via regular statute. Democratic rights and processes are shared with the non-elected Sovereign Protector and High Ecumenical Council.
History
After the definitive success of the Ebrarian Revolution on 15 February 1982, Daniel Lucas (de facto leader of the revolution), organized the United Constitutional Council to draft and approve the document. Lucas headed the council himself, the majority of which was comprised of his ideological allies while a minority of labor union and other dissidents were allowed to take part. The council also contained official representatives from the Ebraricist Church and other major Amendant churches. It began meeting in earnest on 10 Mar 1982.
The text of the Constitution itself was primarily written by Lucas himself and noted Parishist minister Carolo Galano. It was approved by 39 of 45 members of the United Constitutional Council on 13 Jun 1982. The Constitution was then ratified by plebiscite on 15 Jun 1983 with Daniel Lucas taking power as Sovereign Protector immediately upon ratification.
Preamble
Under the guidance of of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
The People of the nation of Ebrary, duly represented by the United Constitutional Council, determine to order Ebraraian cultural, social, political, and economic institutions, based on Christian values and norms. We reaffirm the fundamental principles of the Divinely Inspired Amendant Reformation, wherein our forefathers defied a corrupt Monarch and established True Christian Religion in Ebrary. Like those reformers, we have too established the primacy of God over the corrupt kingship of man in our recent Christian Revolution. This United Constitutional Council therefore establishes this Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land, preserving the freedom and faith of the Ebrarian people, subordinate to Almighty God.
