To amend the Constitution to disallow secession referendums and other attempts to dissolve the Union.

Be It Resolved in the Atlasian Senate Assembled, that upon ratification by 2/3rds of the Regions, the Constitution shall be amended as follows:

STOP OUR SECESSIONISTS (S.O.S.) AMENDMENT

The following Section is to be amended under Article II of the Fifth Constitution:

No region or other entity under the jurisdiction of this Constitution at the date of its original adoption shall secede from this Republic but by a 3/4 vote of the citizens thereof, nor shall any Region, state, or other entity declare itself outside the jurisdiction of this Constitution so long as it remains party to this Union.
