1999 Ordrish Constitution

The 1999 Sovereign People's Constitution of the Union State of Ordrey is the basis for all law in Ordrey, replacing the 1978 Constitution which was established at the close of the post-revolutionary reconstruction period. It was drafted between the months of July, August, and September by the Special Committee for Reform and Renewal, a committee of the All-Union Assembly {CCP) and approved by a national referendum on 28 September 1999, before going into effect on 21 December of that year. It is the current, and fifth constitution of Ordrey, with prior iterations being established in 1855, 1901, 1929, and 1978, respectively.

While it preserves many aspects of the 1978 Constitution, primarily its assertion of and Noyonism as central principles of the government and society at large, it also adopted a number of changes which were seen as "irreconcilable with the original (1978) constitution". Nameably, these included the restoration of a elections structure on the national level, a more empowered First Commissar with the Council of Commissars being reconfigured in a style more similar to a  in other democracies, and clearer delineations of what economic activity and industries would be owned nationally, by provincial and municipal authorities, and by worker self-organized enterprises.

The Constitution has undergone a handful of amendments since its adoption in 1999, with a total of five amendments having been passed. Unlike many constitutions, changes can only be approved by referendum, and are voted for on a line-by-line basis. Additionally, it is one of the few constitutions which outlines the process for the expiration and replacement of the constitution if deemed appropriate by the general public.
