Section 1: Democratic Framework

The governance of the Republic of Fluid shall be based on a hybrid model termed Participatory Proportional Democracy, combining direct democracy in local jurisdictions with proportional representation at the national level.

Section 2: Direct Democracy in Local Jurisdictions

Citizens in cities and villages possess the inalienable right to directly propose, debate, and vote on local legislative initiatives.

A local legislative initiative may be submitted if supported by at least 0.5% of the registered local electorate.

For enactment, a quorum of at least 60% local voter participation is required, with approval by more than 50% of participating voters.

Section 3: The National Council and Worker Advisory Body

The National Council shall consist of a unicameral body of 100 elected representatives, serving as the supreme legislative organ at the national level.

Elections to the National Council shall be held every five years on June 10 by universal, equal, direct, secret, and free suffrage.

Representatives shall be elected for terms of five (5) years, with automatic extension during states of mobilization, war, siege, or emergency until such states cease.

Seats are allocated proportionally according to the percentage of votes each political entity receives, requiring a minimum national voter turnout of 60% for validity.

The National Council shall include a Worker Advisory Body composed of delegates elected by cooperative workplaces and economic assemblies. This body shall have consultative powers on all economic and labor-related legislation.

Section 4: Political Party Formation and Platform Transparency

Political parties may be freely formed, with registration overseen by an independent Electoral Commission.

Parties must submit a detailed platform declaring the policies they intend to pursue if elected, including clear positions on economic, social, and governance issues.

The Electoral Commission shall verify party platforms against a publicly available list of policy combinations to categorize parties as neoliberal, conservative, or authoritarian left if their platforms contain combinations historically associated with these ideologies.

Parties classified under these categories are permitted to participate but are subject to constitutional safeguards detailed in Section 5.

Section 5: Constitutional Safeguards for Democracy and Economy

Should political parties identified as neoliberal, conservative, or authoritarian left collectively receive 30% or more of the national vote or parliamentary seats, the Republic shall enter a State of Democratic Safeguard.

During this state: a) The National Council must enter into formal negotiations with the Worker Advisory Body to ensure policies protect democratic governance and economic equity and b) No law enacted by the National Council shall come into effect without approval via a nationwide referendum requiring at least 50% affirmative votes of participating citizens.

Section 6: Mechanisms for Legislative Proposals

Citizens and political entities may initiate national legislation through: a) Citizen Initiative: Proposals endorsed by at least 100,000 citizens, b) Representative Proposal: Initiatives supported by at least three representatives in the National Council and c) Party Initiative: Proposals by political entities supported by at least 100,000 citizens alongside official party endorsement.

Proposals require endorsement by at least three National Council representatives before formal debate.

All legislative proposals shall be publicly accessible to ensure transparency and encourage participation.
