Constitutional Reform, We Mean It This Time

Azul Belacostaes! (?)

Without performing necromancy on an old thread, I wanted to return to the idea of reform to our province's constitution.

Specifically, I wanted to re-submit this proposal for your review. (It has received a few minor updates since then.)

Key Points:
- The province moves to a unicameral "citizens' assembly" legislature where each interested citizen may claim a seat at the beginning of a term.
- The provincial executive is replaced with a three-member Provincial Council; Consuls are elected by the Borda method. A Governor serves as the primus inter pares presiding officer.
- The proposal includes several clauses that address the possibility of provincial mergers, which is (hopefully) an issue picking up steam among the nation as a whole. (More on this elsewhere soon...)

Two things this Constitution does not do:
- Describe in any way a provincial flag, which I thought would be more sensible to adopt by statute.
- Provide for a newly-renamed Order of Benito, which I believe is also better addressed by statute.

Updated this to address royal/viceregal countersignatures on gubernatorial proclamations, as well as adding a possibility for newly-naturalized citizens of the province to join the Provincial Assembly mid-term.
