WHEREAS, the Constitution of this Kingdom heretofore in force contains many provisions insufficient to the present needs of the people, the over complication of democratically elected government, while sufficient for the transitory time of the period, are now deemed inefficient to successfully meet the democratic needs of the Kingdom.
WHEREAS, it has become imperative in order to restore order and tranquility and the confidence necessary to a further maintenance of a democratically elected Government that a new Constitution should be at one promulgated:
NOW THEREFORE, I Akoni II, King of Ceresia, by and with the advice and consent of the Nobles and Representatives of the People in legislative council assembled on April the 14th of 2024, do hereby annul and abrogate the Constitution promulgated by Her Majesty Queen Riza-Ka'iulani the Great, on September the 7th of 1930, and do hereby proclaim and promulgate this Constitution for the Kingdom of Ceresia and all territories administered.

Each member of society has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty and property, according to standing laws.
