In respecting that, what it seems must happen is that the Council must discuss how to reintegrate - meaning votes must take place to integrate or perhaps remove sections of this old and revered document to adjust for the current Golden Age of the Empire we are surely entering.
I agree. Our strategy for re-incorporation of these ideals should be more nuanced than "keep the old, except where it conflicts with the new" and is best served by putting sections to a vote.
I propose this: we have standard bills in the Parliament that ask whether a section should be included. If the bill fails to pass, we move on to an amendment process where we either change the wording of the section or remove it via amendment. If, prior to this process, new language already passed with enough votes to have been made an amendment, then it automatically is incorporated into the Indoles Carta as an amendment upon failure of a bill that would have incorporated old language.
Thoughts?
I disagree. Most of the document has still applied, despite the absence of the physical document, over the past year or so. While there are certain new bills that we have passed, I don't think that the whole document need be up for potential revision. A constitution should be amended when the need arises, but, in my opinion, should not be entirely reworked unless need be. If there are issues that people see while going back through it, I agree that they should be debated.
