The '''Constitutional law of Kiravia''' (Coscivian: ''Stórnoálda'', literally "metalaw" or "law of laws") comprises the Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy (''Livnifîlon Kiravix Rektārká''), the Statute of Liberties (''Fîlon Helviskya''), binding rulings and ''tōngan'' (judicial consensus) by constitutional courts, and unwritten conventions, customs, and traditions governing the configuration and operation of the Kiravian polity. | The '''Constitutional law of Kiravia''' (Coscivian: ''Stórnoálda'', literally "metalaw" or "law of laws") comprises the Fundamental Statute of the Kiravian Federacy (''Livnifîlon Kiravix Rektārká''), the Statute of Liberties (''Fîlon Helviskya''), binding rulings and ''tōngan'' (judicial consensus) by constitutional courts, and unwritten conventions, customs, and traditions governing the configuration and operation of the Kiravian polity. | ||
==Federal Districts Commercial Control Act & Repeal Thereof== | |||
The '''Federal Districts Commercial Control Acts''' were a series of Kiravian federal (and confederal) legislation enacted for the purpose of restricting commercial activity in the nation's two [[Federal subjects of Kiravia#Federal districts|federal districts]], the [[District of Coīnvra] and the [[Interlake District]]. | |||
The selection of [[Kartika]] (then merely a medium-sized town) as the federal capital of Kiravia and the demarcation of the lands surrounding it as a federal district separate from any state and subordinate directly to the Stanora was an uncontroversial agreement that was believed to balance the interests of more northerly and southerly parts of the new federation and ensure the capital city's political neutrality. However, as the size of the [federal or confederal? probably federal but not sure] government and the scope of its power expanded and Kartika began to grow into a proper city along with it, concerns arose that Kartika would eventually become a {{wp|primate city}} and the country's premier economic centre, eclipsing the other major cities at the time, Béyasar, Valēka, Eriadun, and Primóra. The states abutting the Disctict of Coīnvra - [[Hanoram]] and [[Ventarya]] - feared that merchants from their states would relocated to the capital district and deprive them of tax revenue. More principled concerns were raised in the newspapers of the day that the emergence of Kartika as a "new Era" would lead to harmful political centralisation and even - in more impassioned letters - the end of the Republic and a return to [[Verticalism]]. | |||
The first Act, the District of Coīnvra Commerce Control Act, forbade merchants operating from the District from engaging in international trade and from selling goods to customers in the states or to Aboriginal tribes. Merchants already trading from the district under existing licenses could continue to operate in the town of Éamonsar and the parish of Arþodun, subject to taxation and regulation by Hanoram (in Éamonsar) and Ventarya (in Arþodun). | |||
The Interlake District Commercial Ordinance was born of similar concerns - that it would create a federally-controlled national economic core which would depress the growth potential of other cities in the Inland Seas region, and that it would deprive surrounding states and territories of revenue. However, its issuance was more contentious than the District of Coīnvra Commerce Control Act had been, as many in the federal government felt that such a city would be beneficial for the economic development of the region and for maintaining federal authority and political cohesion as the Inland Seas began to rival the Eastern Seaboard economically. Some, such as [XYZ Lacuna], thought that a new federal capital should be established in the district, as it was more centrally-located on the island continent. | |||
Repeal - | |||
Most provisions of the acts were repealed under the Rénkédar administration. This occurred in a prevailing political climate favourable to economic liberalisation and enhancing freedom of trade and movement. However, it is accepted that the primary impetus for repeal was the severe downturn in the Capital District's economy and standard of living that had accompanied the post-Kirosocialist downsizing of the national government. It was hoped that lifting restrictions on private enterprise in the district would help to alleviate unemployment, crime, and urban decay. | |||
Legacy - The effects of the Acts are still visible in the District of Coinvra. The district's economy is dominated by government and the service sector. Heavy industry and the architectural and social legacies thereof remain entirely absent from the city, and a handful of medium-sized commercial breweries are its largest manufacturing operations by workforce and units of output. Most other industrial enterprises are small operations dedicated to the manufacture of knowledge-intensive high-value-added specialty goods, such as telescopes, diving watches, and custom computer components. | |||
