Constituent National Assembly of Alconbria

The **Constituent National Assembly of Alconbria** was a constituent assembly created by the Supreme Court of Alconbria to draft a new constitution for Alconbria. It also served as that national legislature of Alconbria after the Léialegis was dissolved.

Created as the **Constituent Assembly of Alconbria** during the 2005 Alconbrian constitutional crisis, it took its current name in 2006. Like the Léialegis, the Constituent Assembly had 100 members; 55 of whom were nominated by the Supreme Court, while the other 45 were filled by Forward Alliance winners of the 2005 general election.

The CNA met at the Palacio Legislativo, which was the place where the Léialegis used to meet before it was dissolved.

The CNA derived its authority from Resolutions 33 and 34 of the Supreme Court, which found the Léialegis to be in contempt and stripped its legislative powers after ordering it to be dissolved. The Supreme Court President, Peces Harlier, served as the Speaker; while Karen Norsier was appointed as the Deputy Speaker. At the first session on 20 September, Speaker Harlier said that the Constituent Assembly would operate in support of Ernesto Titeriez, Alconacioism and the Alconbrian Armed Forces.

The CNA passed the controversial new Constitution on June 8, 2009 amid severe protests from the public. That same day, President Augustin Voimer extended the mandate of the CNA till 20 September 2009, ensuring that the CNA operated for 4 full years. After the new Léialegis took oath after the Forward Alliance won the 2009 Alconbrian general election, the CNA was dissolved by Supreme Court President Lina Markez.

## Notable laws passed

The CNA was accorded with legislative powers by the Supreme Court, and passed several laws which allowed the Alconbria People's Party to consolidate power. Such laws include the legalisation of the People's Security Force into the Opker-SPT, laws allowing snooping and surveillance of citizens living in Alconbria as well as abroad, Malpuro Laws, legalising Alconbrian colonies in the Metsarbarros, authorizing indefinite detention of citizens, allowing Supreme Court judges to serve for life, creation of the War Kommand, state support to the Alconbria People's Party etc.

## Public opinion

There was a mixed response to the formation of the CNA. 52% of the public supported the CNA, while 30% found it illegitimate, with the rest expressing no opinion.
