The constitution of the '''Confederated Provinces of Arcerion''' or '''Acerion''' comprises the written and unwritten arrangements that establish the Confederacy as a political and sovereign body. While other country's constitutions are codified sets of agreements, the Arcer constitution is a loose arrangements of principles, arguments, and thesis that establish a codifying ethos and governing social structure for a society with provisions for how the rule of law and governmental functions will administer the provinces. While some constitutional lawyers have argued this leaves too much open to interpretation, the Arcer constitution is deeply rooted in [[Arco Determinism]], the governing socio-cultural ethos of the Arcer people. The Arcer Supreme Court fundamentally recognizes some obvious institutional organizations and provisions such as parliamentary sovereignty, the rule of law, and the overseeing of democracy, as well as upholding a fair and just basis for foreign and international policy. | The constitution of the '''Confederated Provinces of Arcerion''' or '''Acerion''' comprises the written and unwritten arrangements that establish the Confederacy as a political and sovereign body.

The Arcer Supreme Court also recognizes that some Acts of Parliament have special roles in the constitution or otherwise have different relationships with the nation's codifying laws. Fundamentally, these include a letters from the King of Ardmore, a petition to the Crown, and a universal declaration. These are often referred to in Arcer political circles as the "Trinity" over Acer sovereignty. The first of these is a letter from the King of Ardmore, establishing the colony of Arcerion and establishing its sovereign claim to much of the Southeastern Cronan Peninsula. As Indigenous peoples were not recognized by the Crown at this time, their relationship was ultimately one of conflict as Arcers felt the inherent right to the land the Crown had given them. The second of the Trinity is a petition from then Crown Governor of Arcerion, Sir William Walter James, who in 1889 requested permission on Arcerion's centennial birthday to have a special status as a semi-sovereign state. Granted, this gave Arcerion control over its own international relations, diplomatic presence, its own sovereign coat of arms, and control over its economic policy. The final document is a universal declaration. This was published and submitted to the League of Nations at the end of hostilities during the [[Ardmori Civil War]]. It declares that Arcerion is the last bastion of the Ardmore Crown, and retains sole authority over exercising both Crown prerogative and maintaining their status as both a sovereign nation but also as part of the Ardmore Commonwealth.

Documents have also been amalgamated that add to the structure of Arcerion, and these are codified in two supporting documents to the Trinity. These are the individual ratification by governorates (ie. [[Northlea Governorate|Northlea]]) of the Constitution, and adherence to the laws and regulations of the wider Arcer state, as well as the Parliament Act of 1833, which set the provisions for a three-way separation of the state powers into a legislative, executive, and judiciary. | Documents have also been amalgamated that add to the structure of Arcerion, and these are codified in two supporting documents to the Trinity.
