Constitution

There was significant discussion among the Constitutional Court with regards to the decision to assign the true liao the civil service predict will be produced by the commission via the judgement of Rewarding. This was not one of the methods outlined in the original opportunity; however after considerable debate this return to the previous historical method of assigning true liao was judged to be neither unconstitutional. nor technically a deviation from a well worn path - merely one that had not been used since the time of Empress Teleri.

A number of priests have contacted the constitutional court and pointed out that there are several significant issues with this method of assigning the true liao. The court accepts these concerns, but indicates that these are not constitutional problems nor legal problems faced by the civil service in implementing it.

This method is compatible with the constitution and is legally implementable. If it doesn't produce outcomes the General Assembly wants - that is a matter for the Imperial Synod to discuss and the Imperial Senate to fix.
