Constitution of Mobius

The Constitution of Mobius is the supreme law of the Mobian Confederation. The Constitution delineates the national frame of government. The first part embodies the doctrines of Westphalian sovereignty, pluralism, and popular sovereignty, the latter of which is unusual for a monarchy. The second part states the role and powers of the monarchy as well as the method of electing a monarch. Parts three to five describe the executive and legislative branches as well as their relationship. The sixth part describes treaties and international relationships. Parts seven and eight describe the judicial system. Parts nine and ten describe the impeachment court and the criminal liability of the executive branch. The eleventh part describes the role and abilities of the economic, social, and environmental councils as well as the Defender of Rights. The twelfth part describes the federal nature of Mobius and the powers of the states. The thirteenth part describes the relationship with other French-speaking nations (as a left-over from the days of when Acorn was independent). The fourteenth part describes the procedures to amend the constitution, but no amendments may turn Mobius into a republic (though a state could become monarchical or republican).

Since the Constitution came into force in 1977, it has been amended multiple times, including one that repealed the fifteenth part which gave the government its quasi-authoritarian powers from 1977 until 1994, in order to meet the needs of a nation that whose society has been determined by external and internal factors. The latest amendment, which was ratified in 2009, modernized the government institutions through the changing and adding of articles including limiting the monarch's emergency powers (before this, a monarch could declare a temporary absolute monarchy, but now a monarch can only declare a royal dictatorship), renaming Title XI to include a reference to a bill's probable effect on the environment, and a new article on francophonie. The original Mobian constitution is archived at the Royal Mobian Archives and even has digital copies on the archive's website.

According to the House of Peers: "The Constitution's first article affirms that the government of Mobius exists to serve its citizens. For nearly a half-century the Constitution has served its framers' wise separation and balance of governmental powers to safeguard majority rule and the rights of liberty and equality for all minorities, and of the federal and state governments." This permanent constitution has been primarily influenced by the constitutions of France (powerful head-of-state), and Germany (federalism) as well as that of the United States (popular sovereignty).
