The Jamsterdavanians established the principle of popular sovereignty and documented it in a written constitution. This constitution established a parliament, a clearly defined military and, most notably, abolished the idea of a king in favor of a president for life.

Nations with monarchies polarized on the issue of drafting a constitutional monarchy, a form of government that included a parliament or advisory council that was elected to advise and inform the king on subjects relating to domestic and foreign issues.

Two opposing forces gathered on the subject within Dannunifius. The True Monarchists, mostly found in Northern Dannunifian regions, stood on the argument that only a pure monarchy based on divine right could rule over a people based on religious issues. The Constutionale Faction, also called Constitutional Monarchists were made up mostly of Southern Dannunifians, supported the notion that a parliament should be established to advise the king on matters based on popular sovereignty.

Acting under extreme pressure, King Carlos V ordered that a constitution be drafted in 1790. This motion was tabled due to the death of Carlos V that same year. No serious attempts to write a constitution were made until the death of King Carlos VI in 1805.

In 1806 due to a lack of an heir apparent, key advisors begin drafting a Constitutional Monarchy despite Degarto’s warnings of backlash. Pietro Castilians led this movement and, despite objections from the Crown Protectorate Janos Degarto, opened a constitutional convention in Caboto, Dannunifius.

The democratic council, under Pietro Castilians termed itself the Legion of New Sacia had drafted a new Constitution. In return for support, Castilians would support Stefan Donox’s petition to the ruling Crown Protectorate. This would trigger a rebellion in Treyland and Nordanis.

On January 20, 1808 Stefan Donox was crowned King and Emperor of the United Kingdom of Dannunifius, Treyland and Nordanis and the constitution was placed into effect through ratification of the new monarch.

The Constitution of 1808 establishes the new government in VIII articles-

Article II- Describes a parliament made up of representatives elected to a tri-cameral legislative body made up of a House of Lords, a House of Popular Choice and A House of Arms. Laws are written in the separate houses and are debated and passed or failed in a three-month joint session.

Article III- Military matters will be conducted by a committee of generals that will present plans for the approval of the King; these officers will be appointed by the House of Arms and approved by the king.

Article IV- The Courts will we standardized to reflect a common law designed by legislation. A supreme court will be appointed by the king to determine matters between providences and determine fairness and relation to common law, the lexicon of law and trueness to the constitution.

Article V- The constitution provides rights to the people, in whom the power of sovereignty is applied. The king will be the protector of the rights of the Dannunifians to seek peace, life and property.

Article VI- The Monarchy is hereby reaffirmed as the head of this government. This document is designed to rule the people of Dannunifius, not its rulers.

Article VII- The Church shall remain a separate entity from this constitutional monarchy as to maintain the universality of the mother church in the view of the world. No laws shall me made to govern its practices or tax its properties.

Article VIII- Ratification will be by royal hand only.
