Constitution of the United Kingdom of Eurasia

The Constitution of the United Kingdom of Eurasia, written in it's entirety below, is the primary part of Eurasia's constitutional law, though there are some parts of the constitution that have yet to be codified. Please note this is not comprehensive, and many procedures are in the uncodified part of the constitution. Furthermore, bear in mind that in the modern era, the powers of the Sovereign are now ceremonial at best.

Preamble

The People of the United Kingdom of Eurasia:

Inspired by the cultural, libertarian and humanist inheritance of Eurasia, from which have sprung the universal values of the inviolable and inalienable rights of the human person, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law,

Believing that Eurasia, reunited after bitter experiences, intends to continue along the path of civilisation, progress and prosperity, for the good of all its inhabitants, including the weakest and most deprived; that it wishes to remain a continent open to culture, learning and social progress; and that it wishes to deepen the democratic and transparent nature of its public life, and to strive for peace, justice and solidarity throughout the world,

Determined to provide for the welfare of all Eurasians, to secure the blessings of liberty, and to provide for the common defence,

Have ordained the following constitution of the United Kingdom of Eurasia.
