-Referendum Act of 513AER-

~ Amendment 548AER
==Preamble==
The very idea of direct democracy has been present with us since we came to be. But this idea was never implemented into our system, we have no referendums. Therefore, this act will implement a concept of direct democracy into our system. 
==Falleen Law on Referendums==
Article I: The definition of a referendum(also called plebiscite) is the following: A direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal. 
Article II: A Referendum can be called at the request of the Head of Government, the leader of His Majesty’s opposition, the President of the Senate, at the request of a leader of a Federal State (or Ducal Official) and then must pass a vote of a simply majority through Parliament (Or State Parliament if it's a Ducal Official or leader of a Federal State). However a referendum can be called by His Majesty, without the need for a vote in Parliament.
Article III: A referendum can be held on any issue whatsoever. 
Article IV: Results of the referendum do not automatically become law, it has to be ratified by the Imperial Parliament, the Imperial Government and later signed into law by His Majesty. Results however, do not force either of these institutions or people to support it and make it into a law. 
Article V: In order for a referendum to be accepted it has to have majority of 50% + 1 or more votes. 
Article VI: If a referendum result is disputed, the Constitutional Court will decide which result should be accepted.
