Raw Contents:

**Article 1:** Key Definitions:

-Citizen: an account active in r/TeenGovernment or as previously defined by the constitution or other laws

-Election: previously established by the Constitution

-Census: previously established by Due_Camel’s party representation bill

-Foreign government: any political or governmental simulation on the Reddit platform such as r/DemocracyofReddit, r/theocracyofreddit, r/InternetFreeState, and any other similar subreddits.

-Governmental position: any position in government, such as representative, president, moderator, judge, minister or secretary, or any other position of power.

-Identity fraud: the crime of assuming a false identity. This includes operating an alternate account or claiming to be someone else. 

-Election fraud: the crime of tampering with or influencing an election in any way.

-Treason: the crime of betraying or compromising the integrity of the government. 

**Article 2:** A new executive position shall be created; the election minister. Election ministers are to be nominated by the president and confirmed by a two-thirds majority in council. Election ministers may not serve 2 consecutive terms. 

The election minister is responsible for creating ballots, counting votes, and preventing election fraud. 

**Article 3:** When casting a ballot, a citizen must write their username. All ballots will be reviewed by the election minister to ensure they align with the most recent census. 

**Article 4:** No person that operates an account active in the r/TeenGovernment community shall operate more than one account within the community, including shared operation with others. Any person accused with reasonable suspicion of doing so will be tried in accordance with existing judicial procedures for the crime of identity fraud. If found guilty, all accounts known to be operated by that person will be banned. 

As ban evasion is a violation of Reddit’s sitewide policy, attempting to evade a ban using new or alternate accounts is prohibited and will result in an immediate ban. 

**Article 5:** No citizen shall be coerced or bribed in any way when voting. Any person accused with reasonable suspicion of doing so will be tried for election fraud. If found guilty, they will receive a temporary ban. 

**Article 6:** In order to protect r/TeenGovernment’s unique identity, no citizen may run for office or be chosen for an executive position while simultaneously holding a governmental position in any foreign government. Any person accused of doing so will be tried for treason and, if found guilty, permanently banned.
