Liberty For Belvaria!
Voted April 14, 2021
Yes

“A big step in the freedom of the market, autonomy, and democracy.”

The National Rally
Voted April 13, 2021
No

“While other articles are acceptable, we cant accept article 1 and 2”

Amish League
Voted April 13, 2021
No

“While we can agree with Articles 3 and 4, we already have legislation up for vote on Article 3, and are considering proposing legislation on Article 4. And we simply cannot agree to Articles 1 and 2, and changing the Constitution seems wholly unncessecary.”

Together We Can
Voted April 13, 2021
Yes

“While we disagree with the firework policy as fireworks are proven to be significantly harmful to the environment and we believe they are a net-negative to society, we believe the other policies positively increase the civil liberties of the hard-working people of Belvaria.”
