Constitution
The Constitution of Galvia or Sesaprātsme, established on 23 October 1831, is the supreme law of Galvia, and the primary source of law and the basis of the country's political system. The Constitution is codified and loosely based off of the Galvic Accords, drafter in 1293 by Queen Antonija I, and has undergone reform twice, first in 1986 and most recently in 2005. The document is divided into three sections: a preamble, the Commitments, and the Regulations.

The Constitution's preamble is the introductory part, stating the document' purpose, aims and its justification. The preamble is the part of the Constitution that takes the most from the Galvic Accords, with certain parts of it being word-by-word statements or reference quotes drawn from the Accords. As its main point, the preamble states the importance in the existence of a single large ethnically Galvic state as opposed to several smaller ones, and it's heavily rooted in the idea of as the country's primarily modus operandi.

The Commitments, or first part, is subdivided into three parts: the liberties, the pledges, and the declarations. The liberties are the rights and freedoms that the government and monarchy promise to ensure for all Galvian citizens. Liberties are the root for the passing and/or vetoing of most Galvian laws, as they reflect the foundation of what is allowed or prohibited for all citizens. Liberties can be divided into two groups: Personal and Impersonal. Personal liberties are those granted by the state but exercised directly by the individual, some these liberties include, and the. Impersonal liberties are both granted and exercised by the state to favor the individual, and they usually involve a third party. Some impersonal liberties include, , and the. Pledges are what the government can guarantee to the individual as a citizen of the Kingdom of Galvia, and cannot be altered, removed, added to, or contradicted. The constitutional pledges include guarantees such as ', which ensures that individuals will own their own data that cannot then be used without their consent, and ', which protects individuals from unlawful custodians or authority. The declarations are the fundamental principles on which the Galvian government is organized. Some of the constitutional declarations include the self-identification as a that exists under a, ,  form of government. The Constitution also declares Stroomism and Majanism as the only official religions, and that the federal authorities (judicial, executive, and legislative) shall reside only in the city that is to be chosen as the capital city, among several other things.

Lastly, the Regulations, or second part, addresses the national and regional authorities. It states that federal, as well as regional, government be divided into three separate branches: a, an , and a.

The executive is to be formed by a and a  as two separate entities, to represent the monarchy and the government; and a cabinet of ministers, appointed directly by the head of government. This is to be carried on by the central government, as well as all kingdoms within the federation. The legislature is formed by the valdnieks, the novēlēt, and the zvīņas, collectively referred to as 'secretariats', who in turn form the Galvic Covenant. The Galvian legislative power is to be exercised under a, and is the only branch of government directly subject to , as opposed to the executive where elections are indirect, and the judiciary where elections are impossible. The judiciary is designed as an independent branch of government, unlike the other two branches, to ensure the complete neutrality of the law and the judges that see it through.
