====Cantons====

Each Canton (''Formerly Province'') of the Salish Confederation are equal on the federal level, with no nation or town over the other in terms of local laws or local elected officials. There is no federal capital, and the responsibility of a capital is shared by all Cantons. Cantons are free to and encouraged to establish their own constitutions, freedoms, restrictions, trade, influence, capital city and laws, so long as they do not conflict with Confederation-approved Salish law, and all Cantons shall be ensured a democratic form of governance with a minimum Legislative Assembly and Executive Premier if no extra government method is set. Each Canton will be granted a Canton Minister, in which the Canton's Governor will either approve or disapprove of the Chancellor's selection for their Canton. This Canton Minister will be represented in the Secretariat and manage affairs of the Canton within the Confederation. These Canton Ministers can serve in any Confederation Minister position as well.

===='''Court of Grievances'''====

The Court of Grievances of the Salish Confederation consists of two judges, and one head judge called the High Judge. These judges are appointed by the Chancellor of the Salish Confederation every three months with approval of the Parliament, and the High Judge serves a renewable one month term. These citizens must at least reside within the Confederation for two months prior to being appointed.

The Court of Grievances shall also consist of all former chancellors of the Salish Confederation that hold valid and legal citizenship. Judges of the Court are can not be a part of the Secretariat, but can be MPs or be Cantonal Officials. The court's duties are to interpret law and the Constitution of the Salish Federation and apply them to cases. The Court may if Cantonal law allows, accept appeals from Cantonal Courts. If no provincial court system exists, it can resolve cases regarding Cantonal Standard and Constitutional law.

Judges of the Court of Grievances can be impeached and removed from office by the Parliament for the Constitutional definitions of Abuse of Power and Incompetence with a 60% majority. If an impeachment is successful, the Chancellor would then appoint with parliamentary approval a new judge that will serve until the end of the impeached judge’s term.

The Court may decide to dismiss frivolous or trivial cases with a legal reason given with a unanimous vote, though Parliament can override this with a 2/3rds vote.[[File:SalishGovernment.png|center|thumb|756x756px|How the Salish Confederation Government Works]]
