Constitution

=**Room 205 Constitution **=

__Preamble__
As the classroom of 205, in order to form a classroom where we the students have, a peaceful environment, an inaudible and respectful place to work, equality, freedom, and a place where we will promote affirmative attitudes towards each other, and ourselves now establish this Constitution.

__**Article I**__** (Legislative Branch) **
There will be a total of 6 representatives from room 205. One person will be chosen for each row by a consensus vote of the residents of that row//.// In order to be a representative there is a list of qualifications that you must agree to. Upon being chosen you must have a grade point average of a 3.0, you will be a student of the classroom from which you are chosen, and you must have no detentions or have a record of behavior problems at the school. You must commit to the job you are chosen for, and if for any reason your row decides you are not successfully doing your job they will have the chance to vote again and choose another member of the row to take your place. One the vote is retaken; the former person who was elected will be allowed to be reelected as a representative for the rest or the year. Six new representative will be chosen every two months, and if chosen my be allowed to be reelected for two terms.

Duties
The duties of the representatives will be to pass the laws which are made my the executive branch, make the amendments, collect homework, and assign homework. Though it seems that having the job as being representative for room 205 seems fun, you must first realize that it is a large job, and that many people will look at up upon having this job.

One person will be chosen out of the entire class, to be elected as president, and another will be elected as vice president, which means if the president fails at doing their job they will be elimated and the vice president will step up. The president and vice president may have not a grade point average lower than 3.5,and will have no former detentions or misbehaviors, and will be elected only if he or she has consistently turned in their work, has no more than one missing assignment. A new president will be chosen every 4 months, and may not be reelected for the remainder of the current year. The president will have the right to take away a persons job, and give it to someone if he/she feels they are mistreating their powers. The former people of the classroom have the right to vote again on a president if they feel that he/she is not doing the job correctly. In order to have a vote again on a president 75 percent of the class must agree that the former president is doing no good, and is only making things worse, then and only then will a new one be elected until their term is up. All rules must go to the president for his/her approval before turning into a permanent rule, and must also have a 75 percents class vote. As it seems being part of the executive shall be easy its not.

**Duties**
If you are elected to be part of this government branch you will have the duties to protect and secure the president and vice president, and will stand by them on on the choices that make. The people involved in this branch of government will have the duties to declare court dates, in the situation that there is a serious problem that couldn't be resolved. The last duty of the members will be to veto/ pass the laws.

The Judicial Branch will consist of a supreme court, whose duties will be to interpret the laws. Four students will be elected out of the classroom of room 205, and shall be voted on by the president and vice president. The president and vice president will talk amongst themselves and decide who they think will be best for the job. The students they chose will have the right to resign from the job, and will be allowed to be rechosen, when the time has come to choose four new members. The people who are chosen must have a grade point average of 2.5 and must have consistent behavior, and must will allowed to make two mistakes with turning work in then will be fired from the job when the third one is made. The four people chosen will be elected for a term of 1 month and will be reelected the first Monday of every month. If chosen to resign early a new member will be picked and maybe reelected for another full term. The former member will be allowed to be re chosen the rest of the time we are in room 205.

The members of the Judicial Branch will have the honor of coming up with rules, and sending them to the Legislative branch to look over and edit, before they are sent to he president. The duties of the people in the branch will have the jobs of judging the crimes that have been committed in the hallways or classrooms of room 205, and will have the job of passing the laws. = = = =
