Constitution of Costa Maustan

The Constitution of 1958 is the current constitution and the supreme national document of Costa Maustan. It was signed into effect by President James Shields and the Parliament. By law, any changes to the constitution must be ratified by the majority of members of Parliament.

History
Before 1954, Costa Maustan was ruled as an empire by Charles the IV. When the Second Revolutionary War began the nation was occupied by PRP. Amongst the rebellion was the notorious James Shields, a General who became a member of Parliament and the first President of the Republic of Costa Maustan. In 1958, the world famous Memn Treaty was signed which removed the dominant absolute monarchy, something that the Emperor was not fond of. Shields as the President promised Charles he would do something about it. After two days he told the Emperor that his family was moved to Geuvaria, a northern Maustanian region that was under jurisdiction of the government at the time. As the journalists recorded, he wasn’t very happy at the meeting, however he shook Shields’ hand and accepted.

Afterwards, Shields and significant members of the Parliament created a document that became the supreme national document of the government and state - the Constitution. Currently there are two copies of the original document with one stored in the State Museum in Helmscastle and the other in the Parliament’s National Archives.
