Article One - [More] Treasonous Crimes
Whereby it is declared that if this Constitution is not abided by or its words discarded [by people] it shall be taken as a treasonous crime and those who do not abide by this Constitution or discard its words shall be [permanently] expelled from Salanda.
Article Two - Tepoelan Amendment
This Amendment to the Tepoelan[‘s system of operation] shall repeal the contents of Article One of the Fifth Amendment [Old positioned article] to the Salandarian Constitution [i.e, Constitution of Salanda (Basic Foundation Laws)}. Members of the Tepoelan [(MTs), which includes Members of the Chamber of Provincial Emissary (MOEs)] upon the signing of the Twelfth Amendment shall be able to cross the floor to opposition or government, but in doing so shall forfeit their [political] party’s membership and shall remain as an Independent Member of the Tepoelan [which includes the Independent Member of the Chamber of Provincial Emissary status with all references to the Independent Member of the Tepoelan also referring to the Independent Member of the Chamber of Provincial Emissary status] until the next General Election [of Salanda], they may not join any other parties while serving as an Independent Member of the Tepoelan, though they can forge alliances and help become part of a new Government [of Salanda]. However if a seat is resigned, the [political] party of who has that elected seat can replace the seat with another member [thus removing the Independent Member of the Tepoelan status]. However, if an Independent Member of the Tepoelan wishes to resign it [i.e, their seat] it shall trigger a by-election. In this Amendment candidates [for specifically the Chamber of Provincial Emissary] can also run as Independent Members of the Tepoelan, however they can join other [political] parties should they be elected as an Independent Member of the Tepoelan [to the Chamber of Provincial Emissary]. [However,] if a [political] party feels that a Member of (the) Tepoelan [(MT) including a Member of the Chamber of Provincial Emissary (MOE)] has violated its ideological ideals and principles, they may expel or suspend them from the [political] party thus rendering them an Independent Member of the Tepoelan until the next General Election [of Salanda] unless they are only suspended which means they can be readmitted into the [political] party. All expulsions and suspensions done by [political] parties must notify the Speaker of the Tepoelan [including Speaker of the Chamber of Provincial Emissary] or [the] Deputy Speaker of the Tepoelan [including the Deputy Speaker of the Chamber of Provincial Emissary] or [the] Acting Speaker of the Tepoelan [including the Acting Speaker of the Chamber of Provincial Emissary] if necessary beforehand who shall validate them [i.e, validate the expulsions and suspensions]. If the[/a] [political] party does not notify the necessary officials as stated above to validate them [i.e, validate the expulsions and suspensions], then the member [representing that political party in the Tepoelan including the Chamber of Provincial Emissary] has not been expelled or suspended [from the political party]. Once an expulsion is validated [in the due process as stated above in this Article] it can not be reversed only suspensions can be reversed even after the suspension is validated [in the due process as stated above in this Article].
Article Three - Enforcement of Legislation and all passed provisions
(The) Tepoelan shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation the provisions of this Article [(Amendment)] and all legislation [of Salanda] and all past provisions [of Salanda].

Article Five - Civil Rights Amendment
[Whereby it is declared that] The state shall not make or enforce any law [of Salanda] which shall abridge on the immunities of citizens of Salanda, nor shall the state deprive any person of life, liberty [and democracy], and [their personal] property, without due process of law [of Salanda]; nor deny to any person within the jurisdiction of the State the equal protection of laws [of Salanda].
