Just to clear a few things up...although the constitution is "ratified", we still need to make a few changes, like re-wording, a clause about only active members voting, and preferential voting. After those changes are made, the signatures of the people who voted for it will be added to the bottom of the constitution for its official ratification.

Regarding preferential voting, it passed 11-10, and the constitution says that a majority vote of members followed by a 2/3 vote in the Senate is required to pass an amendment. However, this will be a part of the official Constitution, not an amendment. We can't have amendments yet since there is no Senate to ratify them.

Who says it will be a part of the official constitution?  Dunn put it in as a suggestion, why couldn't I just put in my random suggestions and have people vote on those.  The vote should have been brought up by Dan, not Dunn.

In addition, Demrepdan, when he presented the constitution, for a vote, made it clear this was not the final version, that there were revisions that still needed to be made.

Sorry, it was Lewis, not Dunn.
