A Constitutional Convention is process by which constitutional changes are decided upon prior to going through the ratification process. Two such conventions have been held, thus far.
History
The First Constitutional Convention was called on 13 April 2019, lasting until 30 August of that year. This convention would establish much of the rules, processes, and traditions for future constitutional conventions. This convention resulted in the final draft of the constitution, which was signed into law on 15 February 2020.
A second convention was held from 3 December 2020 to 12 January 2021, resulting in the first constitutional amendment, CA-2021-001, which was signed into law on 8 February 2021. This resulted in a number of changes to the constitution, including the creation of the role of Deputy Prime Minister.
The third convention was held from 11 November 2021 to 18 January 2022, which tured out CA-2022-001, which made a number of changes to the constitution that added the Senate to the government. This was ratified by the citizens on 6 February 2022.
A fourth convention introduced mechanisms for Grand Duke Travis to make a one-time overhaul of the Constitution (within certain parameters), in the interest of government efficiency. This was by far the shortest convention, lasting only seven days. It was ratified by the Senate on 4 January 2025.
