Preface to Constitution
This constitution is a serious attempt to provide a constitution that not only creates a limited monarchy, but one that is effective in that it protects and safeguards the people from government corruption and meddling. It is to make a nation free, prosperous and strong to prevent the formation of what is, in effect, hidden, organized, government-sponsored crime, which so often prevails and robs the innocent and unsuspecting though the misuse of the immense power and force of government. (See "Sources of Corruption in Government: The Need for Checks and Balances")
The wording is not what is important, it is the principles taught and the checks and balances provided that are important. No constitution will thrive or provide a solid base unless it is held sacred and supreme above all other concerns especially corruption motives and the false principles that would ruin what would otherwise be a masterpiece and a benefit to any land and any people. It is recommended that the following articles be read as a foundation to understanding this model constitution:
