THE COMMON CONSTITUTION IN THE GAMMA AGE
Overview
The Common Constitution of the Federal Confederation was established following the Peace Treaty of 2631, which ended the Great War and laid the groundwork for a democratic society. This constitution serves as the foundation of governance and rights for the inhabitants of the reservations of New Kourou, Firetown, Hope, and Morningstar. While its validity is limited to these reservations, its principles bind all humans of the Federal Confederation, regardless of their location.
The Common Constitution was ratified on January 31, 2633, under the first administration of the Party of Communards led by Supreme Councilor Aisha Patel. It consists of a Preamble and eight Paragraphs, defining the core values and governance structure of the Federal Confederation.

Protection of the constitution
The Common Constitution is safeguarded by a multi-layered system of checks, balances, and participatory mechanisms:
- Judiciary: The Federal Court, headquartered in New Kourou, serves as the ultimate arbiter of constitutional interpretation. It ensures that all laws and actions align with constitutional principles.
- Federal Sheriff: The Federal Sheriff and their deputies enforce the constitution, investigating violations and maintaining order across the reservations.
- Federal Attorney: Acting as the Confederation's legal representative, the Federal Attorney defends the constitution by pursuing legal action against infringements and advocating for its principles.
- Federal Confederation: The combined efforts of the government, legislative bodies, and administrative agencies ensure alignment with constitutional values.
- Citizens; Democratic participation by the citizens is a vital pillar of constitutional protection. Through voting, civic engagement, and awareness, they hold institutions accountable and safeguard constitutional integrity.
