The '''Constitution and Unionist Party''' ({{W|German language|German}}: ''Verfassungs- und Unionistische Partei'') also known as the '''Constitution Party''' ({{W|German language|German}}: ''Verfassungspartei'') and the '''Tory Unionists''' is a {{W|Right-wing politics|right-wing}} political party in [[Superior]] and is one of the country's most notable conservative parties, following the [[United Conservative Party of Superior|United Conservative Party]] and the [[Christian Democratic Party of Superior|Christian Democrats]]. The party is headquartered in {{w|Des Moines, Iowa|Des Moines}}, the state capital of the state of [[Iowa]]. The party's current leader is [[Anietta Johnson]], who has been representing the party since [[2020 Constitution and Unionist Party of Superior leadership election|2020]].

The Constitution and Unionist Party was founded by [[Bob Hartmann]] on September 31st, 1989 in Des Moines, Iowa. Hartmann founded the Constitution and Unionist Party as an alternate to the largely {{w|Liberal Conservatism|liberal conservative}} [[Conservative Party of Superior|Conservative Party]] for traditionalist voters. The party would see few successes during the latter part of the twentieth century, with as few as three or four representatives. However, in the [[2003 Superian federal election]], the Constitution and Unionist Party achieved its greatest success, winning fourteen seats in the [[House of Delegates of Superior|House of Delegates]] and three seats in the [[High Council of Superior|High Council]]. The Constitution and Unionist Party would continue to remain apart of the opposition, even after the [[2015 Superian federal election|2015 federal election]]. In 2019, the Constitution and Unionist Party entered a electoral and legislative alliance with the [[United Conservative Party of Superior|United Conservative Party]] and the [[Christian Democratic Party of Superior|Christian Democratic Party]], uniting the right-leaning parties in the [[Parliament of Superior]] to oppose the [[Jennifer Granholm|Granholm]] government. 

From 2015 to 2022, the Constitutional Unionists were part of the [[His Royal Majesty's Official and Loyal Opposition (Superior)|Official Opposition]] with both the United Conservative Party and Christian Democrats. After Anietta JOhnson was elected the party's leader in 2020, she became one of the three leaders of the [[National Coalition of Superior]], founded by [[Isaac Dillon]] in 2019 to oppose the [[Progressive Bloc of Superior|Progressive Bloc]], and garnered significant media attention, most of which has been negative. During the [[2022 Superian federal election|2022 general election]], the Constitutional Unionists won 17 seats, an increase by three, and won the second largest number of seats within the National Coalition. Johnson was appointed [[Deputy President of Superior|deputy president]] by Isaac Dillon and the party joined government for the first time in its history. As of 2022, the party has 17 seats in the [[House of Delegates of Superior|House of Delegates]] and three seats in the [[High Council of Superior|High Council]]. The party holds one [[Governor (Superior)|governorship]], [[Jeanne Louisa]] of [[New Anjou]], and has five elected [[Member of American Parliament|members]] of the [[American Parliament]] and is affiliated with [[America of Nations]] in the [[Conference of American States]]. 

Since its foundation, the Constitution and Unionist Party has the leading right wing to far right political party in [[Superior]], with accusations of {{w|xenophobia}} and {{w|bigotry}} being made throughout the party's history. The party received significant criticism for its logo used by the party since 2019, which features the [[Rebel Flag|Rebel flag]]. The party adheres to a {{w|National Conservatism|national conservative}} and [[Nationalism in Superior|nationalist]] platform, and has followed this platform since its foundation. Its platform is heavily inspired by {{w|Christian Right|Christian conservative}} doctrines. The party is very supportive of the [[Monarchy of Superior|Monarchy]] and is very critical of [[Republicanism in Superior|republicans]]. The Constitution and Unionist Party is popular in western and southern Superior, especially in [[Frontier]], [[Wyoming]], [[Montana]], and [[New Anjou]]. Baby Boomers, Gen X'rs, and a surprising number of younger Gen Z'rs, rural, suburban, whites, Christians, and monarchists support the Constitution and Unionist Party and make up the majority of the party's base.
