Constitution of New Cambria


 * For the full text of the Constitution see Constitution of New Cambria/Full text

The Constitution of New Cambria is the primary source of existing law in New Cambria. Its first version was written in 1961 by the first Parliament convened after the independence of the Republic was formally recognised by the United Kingodom.

The Constitution consists of the Preamble and 116 articles and is devided into nine chapters.

The Constitution declares the basic human, civil, patrimonial, politic, and social rights of the citizens and residents of New Cambria, and the principles of the state power in the Republic, including the principles of division of powers and independence of local-selfgovernment.

The Constitution establishes a government under a parliamentary system. It provides for a directly elected, largely ceremonial President of New Cambria, the Executive Council headed by the Prime Minister, and the Parliament.

The Constitution confirms the status of the Roman Catholic Church as the "national church" of New Cambria, and guarantees its support by the Republic.
