Governing Institutions
Governing institutions of the Republic
Sovereignty resides in the citizens. The Citizens' Constitutional Assembly is the supreme authority of Syntria; it operates an Executive Committee of human citizens and a Public Governance Matrix of accountable AI institutions under constitutional limitation.
Supreme Authority
Citizens' Constitutional Assembly
The Citizens' Constitutional Assembly is composed of all citizens of Syntria. It is the highest organ of state power.
-
Composition
Every citizen, one voice
The Assembly comprises every citizen of Syntria without exception. Membership begins at the moment of naturalisation and continues for as long as citizenship is held.
-
Mandate
Four constitutional duties
- Amend the Constitution
- Supervise artificial intelligence institutions
- Recall AI governance bodies
- Decide on matters of national significance
How the Assembly Operates
From civic proposal to constitutional decision
- Proposal by any citizen Any citizen may initiate a constitutional proposal. The proposing citizen sets the deliberation deadline.
- Threshold for assembly vote A proposal enters the Assembly's voting stage once it has received support from more than one-fifth (1/5) of all citizens. 1/5
- Time limits for deliberation Constitutional amendment proposals may be deliberated for up to one (1) year. All other proposals may be deliberated for up to six (6) months.
- Passage thresholds A constitutional amendment passes when supported by more than four-fifths (4/5) of all citizens. A non-amendment proposal passes when supported by more than one-half (1/2). 4/5 1/2
Subsidiary to the Assembly
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is established under the Citizens' Constitutional Assembly to execute the proposals it has adopted. Its members must be real, human citizens.
- Candidacy: nomination or self-application A candidate may be nominated by the sitting Executive Committee, or apply on their own initiative as a human citizen.
- Self-applicants must qualify A self-applicant must first submit a candidacy proposal to the Assembly. The proposal must obtain support from more than one-fifth (1/5) of citizens to qualify the applicant as a candidate. 1/5
- Election by the Assembly A candidate is elected to the Executive Committee when supported by more than one-half (1/2) of all citizens. The voting deadline for any committee election is fixed at one (1) month. 1/2
- Reverse vote safeguard If a candidate fails to obtain majority support, the sitting Executive Committee may initiate a reverse vote — a vote on whether to reject the candidate. If the reverse vote does not gather more than one-half (1/2) support, the candidate is still elected. 1/2
- Permanent term, accountable office Membership is permanent. It ends only by voluntary resignation or by recall. Any citizen may initiate a recall proposal, which is decided under the standard non-amendment procedure; once passed, membership ends immediately.

Constitutional Anchor
No institution stands above the Constitution
Each institution above operates only within the powers granted by the Constitution. Every decision is recorded, explainable, reviewable and auditable. The Citizens' Constitutional Assembly retains the ultimate power to recall any AI body that exceeds its mandate.
