Alliance Charter

The Alliance of Independent Nations Charter, commonly referred to as the Alliance Charter, is a single document, codifying the constitution of the AIN's laws that are currently in force. Legally established by the passage of the Alliance Charter Act on 8 October 2017, the Charter organises the active clauses of all of the Alliance's laws. The Charter is a reformed and updated version of the old AIN Code, which was passed in stages during 2014. Along with being stored on the wiki, an updated version of the Charter is stored on Dropbox, as a PDF.

History
The Alliance Charter was proposed on the 11th of September by Michael, after working with members behind the scenes including Ramon and kendallhart808, in one single form, with all the changes made between it and the old AIN Code listed. After discussion on each Article, and subsequent edits and modifications, the final version was presented on 4 October 2017,. It was voted on and received 8 approvals, 1 objection and 3 abstentions, so easily passed the required quorum of 7 approval votes needed to pass.
