Heen/The Constitution of Heen
The Kingdom of Heen must uphold and represent justice, honesty, and equality in all matters whether with foreign politics or internal affairs. The people of the kingdom constitute the rights to the freedom of choosing their governors, of speech, to bear arms, and of choosing a religion.
Article I: The people in all right have the choice to anoint their Monarch and Arch Priest by election of the nobility of eligible canidates. The Monarch from there will appoint the High Marshal of the armies, and the Royal Treasurer of financial matters.
- Article I Amendment I: All monarchs must sign the Constitution of Heen before being fully anointed as King or Queen of Heen. The monarch of Heen has right to propose and ratify amendments when seen fit. Artiles must be voted upon by the council before ratification. Articles may be proposed by any member of the governing council.
- Article I Amendment II: The nobility is consented to be governed and not governed by force. Any noble has the right to leave the kingdom at any time he or she wishes, but should the noble leave to an enemy realm, he or she is subject to banishment under the decision of the Arch Priest. The nobility is also subject to banishment by the Arch Priest if found guilty of any crime, stated in the Judge Bulletin, deserving of the punishment.
- Article I Amendment III: The nobility has the right to disagree with, protest, and impeach any unjust council member should they have the proof to do so. Keep in mind that any unjust inpeachments will be acted upon by the currently ruling government or the government is subject to immediate impeachment.
- Article I Amendment IV: (added by the hand of Queen Martana) To prevent the exploit of the Monarchs privilege to ratify amendments, any member of the governing council may question the validity of any amendment. The council will vote whether the content of the amendment in question is to be regarded as an amendment indeed or an article. If the council concludes on an amendment, nothing is changed. If the council concludes on an article, a second vote must take place the next week to vote upon the validity of the article in question (conform Article I Amendement I). During the week between the two votes, the amendment is not yet of any power.
Article II: The nobility has right to freedom of speech. Whether they do so by press or by parchment, they have all rights to speak their will.
- Article II Amendment I: Should something written or said be considered treason, such as calling for a rebellion, rioting, slander or exposing classified information, to the Kingdom of Heen by the Arch Priest of Heen or current Monarch of Heen, that noble is subject to punishment and even death.
- Article II Amendment II: (added by the hand of Queen Martana) All rights, stated in this constitution and granted by noble birth, of all nobles of Heen cease to be at the point they break the Code of Nobility. Until the Arch Priest reaches his verdict, be it a warning, fine or ban, the noble is stripped from nobility and regarded as commoner. Such are the results of acting like a commoner.
Article III: The people of the kingdom have right to bear arms at all times to take defence against enemy rogues and enemy realms.
Article IV: An offical religion must never be impressed upon the people. A Monarch attempting to do so breeds corruption and is subject to immediate impeachment.
- Article IV Amendment I: Hedonism is an evil religion and is never permitted to be preached or practiced in the Kingdom of Heen.
