My Lords and Gentlemen,

I have completed a draft for a new constitution, codifying the current laws and customs as we agreed to do in the previous Parliament. Before I propose it here, however, I have a silly question: what do we call it? The past two constitutions were called the Organic Law, and then the Charter of Hanover served as a constitution. Simply calling it "The Constitution" feels a bit dull. Are there any suggestions?

There was also the Bergen Constitution if I remember correctly, and the Organic Law was often referred to by the name of it's primary drafter; the Gresham Constitution. We could call this one "The Mcqueeny Document" :-P

My Lords and Gentlemen,

Technically the Bergen Constitution was also called the Organic Law; at least that's what was written on top. Of course, we immediately started calling it the Bergen Constitution...

I really like "The McQueeny Document", but thats just me. I think it would be proper seeing that the good Monsignor has put so much time and effort into improving the Government in our Nation. Although perhaps not "document" but some other word.

My Lords and Gentlemen,

Mentioning my name in the title does of course appeal to my vanity, but I will leave this decision up to you.

The Gresham Constitution had the words "The Organic Law" written along the top too.

My Lords and Gentlemen,

For now, I think, we will just call it "The Organic Law". If my draft is approved, then we'll see what we actually call it.
