1. Capital of the Kingdom The city of San Montes is established as the official and permanent capital of the Kingdom of Costavela. 2. Creation of the National District The city of San Montes and its surrounding territory shall constitute the National District of San Montes, a special territorial entity separate from the other provinces of the Kingdom and subject to its own administrative regime established by law. 3. Local Government The National District of San Montes shall be administered by a Municipal President, elected by universal, free, direct, and secret suffrage by the citizens residing in said territory. 4. Seat of State Institutions The official seat of the Crown, the Government, the Congress of Deputies, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and other national institutions of the State shall be located in the city of San Montes, unless expressly provided otherwise by law.

Amendment on the National Capital: To establish an official national capital for the Kingdom of Costavela, providing the State with a permanent headquarters for its institutions and governing bodies. The absence of a defined capital has created a lack of territorial reference point for the exercise of state functions, making it necessary to designate San Montes as the political and administrative center of the nation

Amendments

Add an amendment: “All citizens of the Kingdom of Costavela shall enjoy the following fundamenta…”

All citizens of the Kingdom of Costavela shall enjoy the following fundamental rights and freedoms: a) The right to life and personal integrity. b) Equality before the law without discrimination based on origin, sex, religion, political opinion, or any other status. c) Freedom of expression and opinion. d) Freedom of peaceful assembly and association. e) Freedom of worship and religion. f) The right to privacy and protection against arbitrary interference. g) The right to due process and a fair trial. h) The right to participate in the political life of the Kingdom in accordance with the law. No authority may restrict these rights except in the cases and under the conditions expressly established by the Constitution and the laws.

Amendment on Fundamental Rights and Freedoms: The purpose of this amendment is to expressly recognize and protect the fundamental civil rights and liberties of all citizens of the Kingdom of Costavela. Its incorporation strengthens the rule of law, guarantees human dignity, and establishes clear limits on the exercise of public power, providing legal certainty for present and future generations

Proposer's case

The purpose of this constitutional reform is to modernize and update the institutional framework of the Kingdom of Costavela. The current Constitution was drafted at an earlier stage of national development and currently contains significant gaps in matters fundamental to the organization of the State, democratic representation, and the protection of citizens' rights
These modifications do not alter the essential principles of the Kingdom or its political system; they strengthen its functioning, improve institutional stability, and provide a more complete, coherent constitutional basis better suited to the current needs of Costavela
