Constitution

of the
<State’s Title> of <State’s Name>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For God commanded man to fill the Earth and subdue it, and to rule over it. Thus have
we established ourselves in this land with the desire that we may cultivate among us
peace, order, and good governance from which all true liberty flows. In order to better
accomplish these aims we have established a monarchy ruling with the assistance of the
people. The King, now feeling it prudent, lays out the principles that will guide this
realm henceforth.
