Easwegian Constitution

The Constitution of the Common Union of Easway (Ez: *Carterye vi Ezerrye*, Norwegian: Grunnloven til Jarneg), also known as the **2020 Constitution of the Easwegian Directorial Federation**, is the Supreme Law of the Realm of Easway on Bear Island & the Pomors Frontier. It encompasses all proper conduct within law, human rights, business, government, & schooling.

First began on the 16th April 2019 by direction of Emizerri, then going by Chief Curator, President Desourrë, the National Electoral Commission and the then Mainland People's Committee, the constitution ended the Provisional Government, which largely ran on executive edicts and local rule, establishing the Directorial Union on the 14th January 2020, with the Constitution's ratification.

The Constitution originally contained a preamble and five chapters. **Chapter 1, Fundamental Provisions, Chapter 2, Basic Rights and Liberties, Chapter 3, the Municipal Directorates and Representatives, Chapter 4, Government Activity, Chapter 5, the Chief Curator and the Governors.** The constitution included, unincorporated, the national defence of Easway. The **First Amendment** of the constitution on the 19th May 2020 replaced the High Government, described in Chapter 5, with a federal Council and gave the National Directorate full autonomy from head of state representatives in creating legislation. The full effects of this amendment were implemented on the 25th May 2020 when the Council took its seats. The **Thirty Second Amendment** on the 22nd November 2021 saw constitutional order moved, making **Chapter 3, the National Directorate**, **Chapter 4, the Council of Easway** and **Chapter 5, National and Local Government Organisation and Activity**. The amendment also saw a High Court of Justice added as **Chapter 6, Administration of Justice** and the National Defence fully incorporated into the Constitution as **Chapter 7, the National Guard.** This change completed the constitution, as it is seen today, with 7 Chapters and 70 Sections.

## Constitution of 2019

Work on discussing the constitution began as early as February 2019, in a joint effort between the head of state Emizerri and then head of government Aleksou Maximus Desourrë, and a special panel consisting of National Electoral Commission members and People's Committees members.

The main goal of the constitution was to serve as an official framework for the government of Easway and the conduct of the Realm. Previously since the 2017 independence charters existed which granted certain protections, such as a government monitoring body and people's guaranteed protection on the land and involvement in government policy, although the Provisional Government was largely commanded by the directives of the Chief Curator, Emizerri.

The original constitution was inspired by other constitutions, such as the Finnish constitution, the German Grundgesetz, and other historical documents, including the Bill of Human Rights and UN conventions. The Easwegian constitution employs language related to Easwegian culture and values such as co-operation, the uniting Ouroboros, and respect for the arctic environment.

The constitution was officially began work in April of 2019, with sections becoming quasi-official when completed, which reaffirmed Easway's commitment to being a multi ethnic nation, set up the form of government including the head of state and head of government branches, affirmed human rights and set jurisprudence conventions, defined the Easwegian militia and created the public broadcaster, Eix - Easway.
