CONSTITUTION
OF THE JEDI REPUBLIC
drafted the second rotation of Coruscant GSY
8615
Article I
The Jedi Council
The government of the Jedi Republic shall
consist of a Senate known as Jedi Council. This
Council shall have supreme authority over all
persons in the Jedi Republic. These duties shall
include maintenance of membership rosters,
promotion and expulsion of Knights from the
order, leadership and guidance duties, and any
miscellaneous duties not specifically mentioned
elsewhere in this document. Any action of this
Council shall require a two-thirds majority
(2/3) vote of currently active Council members
in order to pass, unless otherwise mandated by
an ORDER in the Constitution or an ACT in the
Bill of Rights.
Article II
Composition of the Jedi Council
The Jedi Council shall consist of one
representative for every three persons in the
Jedi Order. If at any time membership in the
Jedi Republic exceeds 50 persons, the ratio will
be modified to one representative for every five
persons in the Jedi Order; except that no
Council member shall be removed from office to
meet this new requirement.
This Jedi Council shall consist of one Head of
the Council, at least one Senior Council Member,
and other Councilors as necessary to meet the
requirements detailed in Article I.
The Head of the Jedi Council will be elected by
a vote of current Knights and will serve until
the day of their assimilation with the Force, or
until the day of their resignation, whichever
shall come first. In the event of a resignation,
the highest ranking Senior Council Member shall
serve as interim Head of the Council until a
vote of all active Knights can elect a new Head
of the Council.
Senior Council Member(s) are to be appointed as
necessary by the Head of the Jedi Council.
Duties of Senior Council Members will include
temporarily acting with the powers of the Head
of the Council in the event of extended absence,
resignation, assimilation with the Force,
assassination, or any other termination of or
interruption of services.
Council Members are to be elected by a vote of
current Knights as required to meet the
provisions in Article I. Elections shall be held
at the beginning each month if required.
Additional Special Elections may be held by
mandate of the Head of the Jedi Council.
Article III
Jedi Ranks
A Jedi Ranking system shall be established that
takes into account the skill level and standing
of the majority of currently active Knights. If
three-fourths (3/4) of active Jedi reach the
highest rank of the current system, a new system
will be devised not to exclude the lowest
ranking Jedi from the lowest rank of any new
system.
Article IV
Supreme Executive Power
No member of the Jedi Order, regardless of
position or dire situations, shall be given
supreme executive power without a check and
balance in human form. All decisions and
mandates of the Head of the Council are subject
to veto by a 2/3 majority of currently active
Council members.
Article V
Procedure for Amendments
Amendments to this Constitution may be made by a
3/4 majority of currently active Jedi Council
members.
