Steve, Your Monarchy is outdated as well. It may be time to consider some re-drafts so your populous is not paying to prop up a "Royal" family in a lavish lifestyle while serving no purpose to it's citizens.
The irony of course, is that they are a people who could have had freedom from monarchy, but instead claimed victory in codifying the existence of it. It is cute that one would think themselves smarter than those who lived before simply because they live now. The Founding Father's were brilliant beyond what most can accept.
In our country we believe that one's rights exist because of the laws of nature and of nature's God. Not because some government or other ruler decided we could have them. Our government exists to secure or protect these rights, not to grant them. The second amendment identifies a clear area where it is necessary to specifically prevent the government from infringing and to ensure that our rights are not lost without consequence.
The Founders provided a method for amending our great constitution which, again, protects our rights not grant them. It is a purposely difficult process to avoid impassioned reaction to an event, avoid minority tyranny, and ensure general consensus.
1) Congress must propose the amendment
2) BOTH houses must be able to pass the amendment with a supermajority (2/3) in favor.
3) It goes to the people of each state and they vote on the amendment where 75% of the states must approve the amendment.
Perhaps that's just old and silly thinking, but I don't think so.
