Constitution of the United States of Antarctica

undefined 

The , also known simply as the Consitution, is the legal document to which the entire government of the USA was founded upon. It outlined the basic principles and powers of the government, as well as the framework for any future laws passed on the federal level. Originally inteded to be a repair to the Articles of Loose Togetherness, this powerful document was drafted from scratch by some of the most PWNsome folks of the 1990s. The only country in the USA, which doesn't follow the constitution, are the Warmslates and Freezeland (Constitution of Freezeland). They have they own version. Due to political reasons, stated in the Treaty of Dorkugal, nobody is able to change that.

Background

 * Main article: Constitution Writing Squad

After the EPIC FAIL of the Articles of Loose Togetherness, the Constitution Writing Squad came back to session at Club Penguin's Night Club with the intent to revise it and make it less fail. Many famous penguins attended, and delegates from every modern state (except Pengolia which didn't exist until 2003) attened and battled each other for government fairness, balence, stability, and most importantly, ease of use.

The wacky statesmen often had personal gain on their minds (particularly Mabel von Injoface XVIII, Mabel's mother), so the battle was long and hard. Compromises ensued, and Mabel XVIII is rumored to have added stuff to the document at the last second.........

The entire thing was ordered to be kept secret. That meant shutting down the Night Club, turning off the music, closing the windows and placing guards in every entrance and the roof. They wrote by candlelight to ensure that no one would know of what happened in there. They only wanted the Masses to know the result, not the battles that made it.
