Constitutional Laws
Constitutional laws are laws that form the foundation of the the South Pacifican community, are fundamental to governance, or otherwise are of great importance to the Assembly. The Charter of the Coalition of the South Pacific is our supreme constitutional law, which defines the purpose of our government and its framework. Constitutional laws take precedence over all other laws and require a three-fifths super majority vote (60%) in the Assembly for passage, as well as a game-side vote if the Chair of the Assembly determines that they directly affect the game-side community or its home governance.
