Constitution, want feedback
I was sitting down and I wanted to create a Constitution that could help alliances. Anyone can use this or leave feedback to make it better. If you use it though, I'd like if you tell me and give some credit . Please leave some feedback.
EDITED CODE THANKS TO FEEDBACK! POST WHAT YOU THINK, THANKS FOR READING!
The Civilian Code of 2013

1.1: Law may derive from legislative act or executive order. If there is a conflict of laws, the Code outweighs all matters of law.
1.2: In order for an addition to the Code, it requires a 60% vote from the Legislature and signature by the Patriarch. In order to amend any article of the Code, it requires 2/3rds vote of the Legislature and the Judiciary, without the approval of the Patriarch.
