Article One: Government Power Atrium’s government is a representative democracy, which includes five representatives from each division of the country. The people vote on who they desire to be elected for their division’s representative and for the Executive Head of the country. The Executive Head has more power than the division’s representatives, and the division’s representatives have more power than the people. The people must obey the government and the laws that the government enforces, unless what the government enforces is unauthorized or violating. In this case, the people may hold a trial to terminate the law or action of the government’s doing. If the government is mistreating their power, the people may evict the representative or the Executive Head from office through an election. In order to become a division’s representative, the representative must live in the division that they’re representing and must be at least 30 years old.

An Executive Head and a representative can be re-elected once in their career for the allotted amount of time.
Article Two: Military Power The military is controlled by the people with regulation from the government.
In order to go to war, the government must have a ⅔ total vote from the people and approval from the Executive Head. If these criteria are not met and war is carried out or the government is using the military power for personal gain or power, the people can evict any or all representatives, including The Executive Head, that they feel are over using their military power. However, if a division gains power or resources individually from an eviction, their power to elect a representative or Executive Head will be revoked for the next election. The other four divisions will elect a representative for the accused division and their power will be returned after the
election. If a natural disaster were to occur, militarized forces will be dispatched to provide aid and reconstruction regardless of the people’s vote. The aid provided will be administered by the Executive Head in order to ensure that aid is given to full extent regardless of government officials. If an outside country asks for or requires help, the people will vote and the request will carry on if it receives a ⅔ vote. It then will need a ⅔ vote from the representatives in order to be granted.

The rights of the people that are not listed in this constitution and the people believe need or should be stated as such ,due to abuse or common interest of the people, can be voted upon by the people with a ⅔ vote from all divisions. If these demands are not met and are ignored, then the people can evict and replace representatives.
