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 It superseded the Constitution of Cascadia, the nation's first constitution, in 2023.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 first two articles outline the rights guaranteed to citizens as well as outlines the ideals of governance of the nation. 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 VII establishes the procedure on how constitutional amendments are ratified.

The drafting of the Constitution, which was drafted by SayerQT, proposed the Constitution in the 5th Legislature on December 30, 2022. The bill passed unanimously and went to a referendum on January 1, 2023. The new Constitution was ratified 23-2 that same day, superseding the outgoing Constitution. Since the Constitution was ratified in 2023, it has been amended 5 times.
