12: The prison must be a rehabilitory place for the imprisoned to come back into society and be able to live in the outside world. The death penalty is not allowed.

Any of the rights not listed here are up for the cities and communities to decide. A convention every ten years will be held to see promising amendments to the constitution

Government:
The regions of Talitoa send representatives to the House of Regions can be instantly removed in snap elections (4 members for every region), the Representative Senate is much the same (for every region, they get 6 Region Members plus 1 for every two million people). Communities and cities in Talitoa have direct democracy and control of their own affairs. 70 regions along with the territories, though the regions exist only to set up law for the whole of Talitoa. The terms for both House of Regions and Representative Senate members is every 4 years.

The representatives themselves will be chosen by the people through Approval Voting. The House of Regions will set up bills recommended by large enough petitions or by in-house committee. The bill will pass through the Representative Senate where the bill either passes through or it doesn't. The House of Regions can have a snap election to help force it through if 2/3rds vote for the bill. The president along with the speaker of the house stand as moderators in debates that try and influence the direction of voting, where the president then stamps the approval or disapproval seal on the bill depending on how the debate went.

The president will be the head of the party and the head of state, with the vice president holding ceremonial and other small tasks to be decided in other laws. Both president and vice president will be elected by Approval Voting and can be removed at any time in a recall snap (with proof of malicious or incompetent conduct). The term is 5 years for the president and vice president, with elections ending December 12. The president and vice president can only hold two terms. The vice president takes the presidents place on death, ruling to the next election unless removed. If both president and vice-president step down, a interregnum will take place where the House of Regions and Representative Senate will lead until a new president is chosen after the elections December 12.

The Talitoan Judicial Branch is the supreme and highest court in Talitoa. The court can only be staffed by qualified individuals while being guided by the law in court. Judicial responsibilities here look at laws for constitution breaking actions or for updating and interpreting the constitution.

Any corruption or cases of "lobbying" are prohibited. Donations to parties are restricted to 10,000 Talios. Any politician who deals in corruption will be stripped of their titles and banned from government if a trial finds them guilty. Jail time comes in for corruption cases that include Talios over 100,000 in amount or for the damage caused by the corruption. Those who cause the corruption will be fined for the corruption caused, or jail time with the same stipulations as the politician.

Freedom of movement and commerce cannot be infringed by any entity within Talitoa. Taxes can be imposed by the central government on the communities within.

The government must help provide for the real benefit for even the smallest in Talitoa.

This document has been signed in to help guide and rule Talitoa, and thus will help lead the nation's future.
