Florencian Constitutional Reform Committee

[Mic’haglh Autófil, O.Be]

To be clear, I have been reviewing this over the weekend here-and-there when I get a moment. I will be posting my thoughts when complete (should be mid-week, I'm just trying to do my due diligence is all).

Thanks Governor. I'm looking forward to your recommendations to improve the draft.

Ok, so this list is basically in order of where things appear in the proposed constitution.

• Can you elaborate on Chapter I, Section 7 a bit?
• Would it perhaps make sense to render the new constitutionally-defined motto in Talossan instead of English?
• I notice that I.6 and III.4, while perhaps not directly in conflict, appear to be redundant and possibly contradictory. In other words, you could say they're trying to "talk past each other". Would it make sense to maybe combine them into one section to clarify the subordination of provincial law to national law, and the order of precedence within the former?
• The current Constitution bars the Constable and the Sovereign from the legislature. This new proposal does not. Is this something we consider desirable?
• For that matter, it does not seem to grant Florencians the ability to opt in or out of a Curia seat for the term. What was the reasoning here?
• Much like I myself was advised during the drafting process for the Belacostan constitution, I would recommend having the "failure to act" provision in IV.3 match that of the Crown at the national level (bill not otherwise acted upon takes effect at the end of the month in which it is passed). To do otherwise may call into question the Organicity of this provincial constitution under Org.IX.4.4.
• How is the Paramount chosen if both Directors either do or do not want to be the Paramount?
• Given the issues Florencia has had with filling provincial offices of late, is the separation of the Chancellor into a different role, barred from another provincial office, the best course forward? Could the duties of the Chancellor perhaps be held by the non-Paramount Director, either de jure or de facto? Made an office of the Instrumentality, etc?
• For that matter, would it be wise to place a length on the term of Instrumentality offices?
• Is a simple majority to remove any officer appropriate? Would "impeachment" (since that is in effect what this would be) perhaps be better served by some higher threshold?
• Directory elections always occur during general elections, and also between them as necessary, yes? These seems like a lot, what happens if there's an early dissolution of the Cosa?
• Does the Curia ever have any sort of recess or end to the term? Does it ever suspend business?
• If all citizens are members of the Curia, is the amendment-by-referendum process necessary?

I know this is a fair number of questions, but a big part of my role here is to effectively play the role of deableu sè avocat, to refine the proposal.

Vice-Chair @mximo , do you have any input on Vice-Chair Tzaracomprada's proposal?
