Act of Uniformity

The Act of Uniformity is one of the documents that form the Constitutional Corpus of the Teleri Republic. This document describes the relationship between the pogititch and the Republic, the powers each have and share, the way pogititch should run internally, and it also creates the title of !Lord-Mayor.

Internal Workings of the Pogititch
This clause of the Act is optional for most signatories joining the Republic, as such some pogititch have different internal workings than is described in this clause. This optional clause was added to the act as a way of getting rid of the few monarchies within the republic, for which the clause is not optional. Public thought at that time, influenced by the publishing of Talah Hialeah's History, leaned towards the supremacy of the republican form of government, and thus demanded an end to all remaining monarchies in the republic. To ensure a good transition from a monarchy to a republic guidelines for such a system are delineated in this clause:


 * There must be an elected legislature, the number of chambers required is not mentioned
 * There must be an elected chief-executive, called !Lord-Mayor as a general title
 * People must be free to run for these elections
 * There must be no life-long appointments
 * The minimum voter rights must comply with federal rights
 * The monarch can stay a figurehead, but they may not benefit from public funds
 * Representatives to the Republic may not be appointed, but must be elected

Power Sharing with the Republic
A previous document of the Constitutional Corpus described the powers of the Republican government, but it did so in an unclear manner and did not say if these powers were exclusive to the Republic or shared with the Pogititch. This document brings precision to this issue, indeed, it describes which powers are exclusive to the republic, which are not.
