The Rodulan Confederation, as outlined by the Constitution of 1457, is a federal state consisting of legislative jurisdictions known as Cantons divided into three levels, the Federal, Canton, and Local. The three main bodies of the Confederation are the Confederate Courts to handle judicial matters, the Confederate Assembly acting as a legislature, and the Confederate Committee to act as the ruling body. | |||
The Confederate Assembly consists of two houses, the 500 member Canton Council with two members per each Canton and the 1500 member House of Directors with the number of directors proportionate to each Canton's population though the number is always kept at 1500. Through referendums, citizens may challenge any of the laws passed by the Assembly and through petitions can introduce amendments to the Constitution and introduce laws. | |||
The Confederate Committee consists of 11 members that all serve collectively as the head of state. Each member is elected for four year terms and the Chairman of the Committee is elected through the Confederate Assembly from among the Committee members. The Chairman chairs the government and assumes certain representative functions but the office of the Chairman carries no additional powers and the Chairman still functions as a department head within the administration. Chairmen are elected for two year terms in between election cycles. | |||
