Constitution of Upreye
According to the Upriot constitution, the Principality of Upreye is governed by laws published by the Crown Prince of Upreye and authorized by the Court of Appeal. These laws are obligatory on all of the Principality's residents. The Court of Appeal derives from monarchical courts (the sovereign's councilors), but in Upreye are rather councilors to the legislature rather than monarchical courts. Constitutional rights supersede all other legal laws, and they can be removed only by the Court of Appeal with ratification from the Crown Prince of Upreye.
It is the result, first and foremost, of the self-interested wishes of Upriot leaders, patricians who directed the development of Upriot society, a development that was clearly beneficial to them and enabled them to consolidate and perpetuate themselves as the prime social group through the use of legal forms and formulas relating to the individual, family, and society that were suitable for and oriented toward their goal of assuming political and financial leadership of the Upriot people.
Upriot constitution lays the groundwork for the country's political structure. The Crown Prince of Upriot, the Generality of Upreye, and the municipal councils comprise two of the three levels of administration, with the Crown Prince of Upreye functioning as the head of state. The Generality of Upreye is governed by three democratically elected bodies: the Upriot Assembly, the Upriot Government, and the Court of Appeal.
Additionally, the constitution establishes citizen rights and the government's taxes and revenue-raising authority.
