National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)

The National Constitution of Cascadia is the supreme law of the Republic of Cascadia. It superseded the Constitution of Cascadia, the nation's first constitution, in 2023. Originally comprising six articles, it delineates the national frame and constraints of government. The Constitution's last three articles embody the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the unicameral Legislature (Article III); the executive, consisting of the president and subordinate officers (Article IV); and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court (Article V). Article IV, Article V, and Article VI embody concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments, the states in relationship to the federal government, and the shared process of constitutional amendment. Article VII establishes the procedure subsequently used by the 13 states to ratify it. The Constitution of the United States is the oldest and longest-standing written and codified national constitution in force in the world today.
