CONSTITUTION OF THE PEOPLE AND THE UNIFIED HANDS OF HUMANITY OF CITY EIGHT, SECOND PREFECTURE


PREAMBLE
​

The free and industrious peoples of City Eight, at the behest of Global Administrator Breen, do hereby declare their victory in achieving that in which all men strive—that their district and all peoples within hold themselves to the highest standard in the search for equality, justice, and freedom, and that they have found it in their society. In this, they entrust their Governor, Hafsa Nasir, guardian of the district, upholder of safety, and gentle font of security, with the protection of their district and all of those encompassed within, jointly professed in their loyalty to her through the confederated masses congregated therein.

Recognizing that the destiny of all mankind depends solely upon the establishment and perfection of local constituencies and governance, having by long experience learned of the inveterate faults of past regimes and failed attempts at self-regulation, and desiring to take advantage of the season in which our district finds itself and of this dying moment that has restored us to ourselves, free of the ignominious dictates of foreign coercion or domestic manipulation or terror, holding dearer than life, than personal happiness, the political existence, internal prosperity, and external pride of our district as a model to be held up as an example of the shining heights to be aspired to by all lesser members of the species.

Desiring to merit the great trust and deference the Global Administration and Our Benefactors have granted unto us, despite obstacles that may cause passions and stoke instinct and superstition and irrationality within us, we do, for the general welfare, for the establishment of security, for the preservation of our district and its City, with the utmost constancy of spirit, ordain this Constitution and declare it to be entirely sacred and inviolable until rational minds, at the time by law prescribed, by their clear will and consent of the City Administrator, Benjiro Nakamura, recognize a need to alter any of its articles, to which Constitution the further statutes of the present Chamber shall apply in everything.​
