Constitution Discussion : Article E, Legislative Branch

[Immortal]

at any rate its very easy to define the provinces, all we have to do is include the sentence "Provinces must contain X cities/tiles"

 

[DaveShack]

No the number of cities vs number of tiles argument belongs in the in-game debates on the provincial borders. I was just saying that we may have an undefined term "province".

Article O
[indent]
The area contained within the cultural boundaries of [country name] shall
be divided into areas called provinces, each of which is under the
control of a Governor as stated elswhere in this Constitution.  The
boundaries dividing such provinces shall be set as determined by the
congress, and may extend beyond the cultural boundaries.

Except for that "rs" it looks good. Although I don't know if it's needed.

Had to throw that spelling inaccuracy in there.

Ooops! You already edited it out.

Dave shack: care to open a seperate thread for new article O? I can if not.

Should be an easy ratification.

Proposed Article E Poll:

Article E. Legislative Branch

The Legislative Branch will be formed of two houses. 
      1.The Council of Governors will be formed of the Provincial Governors. 
         Each of whom is responsible for the care, management, use of 
         the cities, and use of lands of a province through the setting of build 
         queues, allocation of labourers on tiles, population rushes and drafting 
         of soldiers. The Council's primary purpose is to encourage cooperation  
         between the Provincial Governors and to encourage cooperation  
         between the Council and the Executive Branch.
           a.Each Governor shall determine any policies and procedures needed 
             to carry out their duties.
       2.The Congress will be formed of the entirety of the  citizenry and is 
          responsible for the drafting of new Laws.

 

[Falcon02]

Looks good

 

[Babbler]

The article looks workable as is.

But personally, I would junk the whole Senate/Council of Governors as a formal gov't bady into a more unofficial co-orination body. But as I said, its workable.

The purpose is to ensure efficiency, one place for Leaders to post requests of governors, and one place for Governors to deal with claims over tiles. Granted it isn't as necciary at the begaining when we have just 1 Province, but when we have 3+ Provinces it will be VERY helpful essential.
