The Constitution of the Montecaran Republic (Montecaran: Costituxòn da repùblica montecarà) establishes the basic form of government of Montecara. It was ratified by plebiscite on 11 June 1948 and came into effect on 9 July 1948.
History
The current constitution was written during and under the authority of the Community of Nations trusteeship which was established after the Etruruain occupation of Montecara.
Contents
The constitution consists of two main parts: the Statute of Rights (Statùt dei drìti) and the Statute of Government (Statùt di govèrno). Separate from the main document is a brief Instrument of Ratification in which the CN Commissioner for the Trust Territory of Montecara certified that the constitution was legally ratified by plebiscite.
The Statute of Rights is Montecara's national bill of rights and enumerates a variety of civil and political rights. It was influenced by the Declaration of Universal Natural Rights but goes into far greater detail and is much broader in scope.
