Shawn Evrard James Stewart Jack McCollister & Taylor

McDaniel. We are Vicious and Delicious.

Wednesday November 19, 2014

For our Constitution project we decided a Constitutional monarchy would be ideal for

the things we wanted to implement.


We, the Taylorian Council, have our own authentic twist on a Constitutional Monarchy.
A great advantage to having a King as a figurehead is how it helps unite the people.

We, the members of the Taylorian Council, do hereby declare that it is a privilege not a
right to be a member of our society, a citizen of our Land. This privilege is earned by
participation in the community. The limits, boundaries, and requirements of the
participation, along with the benefits to be laid out in this constitution.

Bicameral
House of Doods- Based on Pop. 1:100,000
House of Misters- Based on Rep. 3 per Province
Powers- King can veto bills, pardon criminals, etc.; HOM has same enumerated

powers as U.S. senate.

Minimum age requirement: 30


People originally appointed by the council will be chosen based on interest, and

standardized test scores to determine compatibility for the position.


The king will be in position until impeached, death or resignation.

Minimum age requirement: 40


4 levels of Courts- Local, County, Province, & Federal/Royal.
Powers include judicial review and interpreting the constitution to the best of their

abilities based on majority vote.

Students will start school at age 3 and will be gradually separated into different career

based schools determined by grades in elementary school as well as aptitude and


personality tests.
Private schools will have to at least have the same curriculum standards but are

allowed and encouraged to go above and beyond the standard set forth.
The funding for education will come from Local, State and Federal Taxes as well as

certain State Lotteries designed specifically for this issue.

Immigration in Taylorland is acceptable, we love the idea of new minds. For this

reason we give all immigrants 90 days to become legal citizens.


It is the duty of our prestigious Law enforcement to take care of illegal immigration

problems that may arise.

All citizens will have access to basic healthcare via clinics and hospitals.
Healthcare funding will come from state lotteries and other tax programs.

Amendment VI- Employment will be based on interest, aptitude, and personality tests
Amendment VIII- Drugs/Narcotics- Drug policy in Taylorland is based on the two

principles that drug use is a health issue, not a criminal issue, and that there is a
distinction between hard and soft drugs.
Amendment IX- Slander towards the King/Government will be taken as a high offense

and may be subject to, but not limited to, deportation.


Amendment X- Environmental protection of the land is very important, those not

willing to take care of the land will be taken care of to ensure the habitibility of the land
for future generations to come.
