The Ivy Cactus Quality of Life Amendment

Whereas the Constitution has several minor issues that should be fixed,
Recognizing that the highest law of our land should be without error,
Recognizing I forgot to adjust some parts of the Constitution to account for the Simperialism Amendment,
Believing that the issues are not fixable by the archives issue because they are caused by anachronism or otherwise,

I, Justice Ivy Cactus NC, hereby propose the following amendments to the Constitution of SimDemocracy:

Article 1 — Simperialism Clean-up

§1. Part 3, Article 9, Section 1 of the Constitution shall be reworded to “The Courts, consisting of the Supreme Court and the Inferior Courts, shall be the primary judicial body of SimDemocracy and shall represent the interests of the people by wielding judicial authority.

§2. Part 3, Article 10, Section 1.1. of the Constitution is hereby repealed, and its parent section is hereby reworded to “§1. The Inferior Courts shall possess original jurisdiction over all criminal and civil cases within SimDemocracy.”

§3. Part 5, Article 16, Section 7 of the Constitution shall be reworded to “§7. If a Supervisor does not step down swiftly and gracefully after their removal, they are to be declared a tyrant. And when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. All laws against rebellion are nullified within a territory while a tyrant is in control of said territory, and a backup of said territory is to be created if one isn’t already present. Any and all actions taken by a tyrant are illegal.”

§4. Part 5, Article 16, Section 8 of the Constitution shall be reworded to “If for any reason there is no Supervisor in any core territory of SimDemocracy, control over said territory must be handed to the President until the appointment and confirmation of a new Supervisor.”

Article 2 — Miscellaneous Changes

§1. Part 1 of the Constitution shall be renamed from “The Legislative” to “The Legislature”.

§2. Part 1, Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution shall have the reference to “r/SimDemocracy” replaced with “SimDemocracy”.

§3. Part 1, Article 1, Section 7.1. of the Constitution shall have the word “or” changed to “and”.

§4. Part 1, Article 2, Section 2.3 of the Constitution is hereby reworded to “If there is no Speaker of the Senate, due to impeachment, resignation, or otherwise, the line of succession outlined in §6 of this article shall determine who assumes the Speaker’s duties until a new one is elected.”

§7. Part 3, Article 10, Section 2 of the Constitution shall be reworded to “The first round of a case shall be heard by a judge assigned through a process absent of their input, as decided by further legislation. Inactive or otherwise incapacitated judges should be excluded from said process.”
