Amendment to the Martial Law Act of 515AER

585AER
UFID thinks it is unheard and stupid that a Martial Law may only last a maximum of 1 week before the extension of the Martial Law are demanded to be passed by Parliament again. This is a long and difficult process that is only to a disadvantage for Falleentium and the Falleens. We therefore suggest extending the maximum to 2 months before it needs to be extended by being passed by Parliament.
