The Constitution of Superior is the supreme law and central governing document of the Kingdom of Superior. Heavily inspired by the United States Constitution and the Constitution of Sierra, the Constitution of Superior consists of six articles and twelve amendments, along with a preamble. Passed in 1869, the Constitution of Superior established the Monarchy (Article I) and the federal government (Article II), detailing each of the three branches of government and their responsibilities (Article III). Articles IV and V detail the powers of the State governments, the governments of Superior's administrative divisions, and Article VI details the role of the Constitution. Amendments to the Constitution are approved by Parliament and are officially confirmed by 2/3rds of the states in Superior.
The Constitution of Superior would be drafted during the Superian Revolution, a sub-conflict in the War of Contingency, by members of the provisional government of Superior. Following the conclusion of the war, and the subsequent independence of Superior, a constitutional convention would be held in Saint Anthony, where delegates across the newly-independent nation would add their input to the constitutional draft. After a series of revisions and edits, the Constitution of Superior would be passed by the constitutional convention on TBD, 1869, and would be implemented immediately. Along with that, the first five amendments to the Constitution, known as the [[Charter of Liberties (Superior)|Charter of Liberties) would be passed days following the implementation of the Constitution. These amendments would be almost identical to the United States Bill of Rights.
Though there has been a number of amendments to the document, the Constitution of Superior remains as one of the oldest actively enforced constitutional documents in the world. The similarities between the Superian and United States constitutions were very much intended to ensure the continuation of similar rights seen in Superior during it's time under the United States. The opening of the Constitution, By order of the people, affirms the continuation of the government's service to the Superian people. Along with that, the Constitution of Superior would also borrow provisions from the Constitution of Sierra, including the establishment of a Anglo-American and Westminster parliamentary hybrid system of government and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.
