We the people of McCities, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, provide for the common defense and much more to establish this Constitution of McCities

SECTION 1 (police ranks)
All police officers must use their commands and permissions only for enforcing the laws of McCities and shall face consequences by the minister if the commands are used for rule breaking or personal benefit

The Junior Police of McCities are the starting of the McCities police. Junior Police must meet the requirements of being a citizen and not having a reputation level (/rep) of -50 or below. Junior Police enforce the laws of McCities by jailing rule breakers, and helping players collect evidence for court cases.

The Senior Police of McCities is the second level of the McCities police force. Senior Police are Junior Police who have shown they have the ability to enforce the laws, and help players. Senior Police have the responsibilities and power Junior Police do while having the permission to make gun licenses, discuss applications with the minister, suggest hiring, and suggest demotions. In order to receive Senior Police, you must have been a junior police for 2 months minimum.

The Chief(s) is a rank of which 1-2 people can hold. They must be highly qualified and active police who have been Senior Police for a minimum of 3 months before being considered for a promotion to chief. Chiefs have the permissions and power of the Junior and Senior Police while reserving the right to make significant input on applications, hiring, and demotions, and splitting up roles in game while police are catching criminals.

SECTION 2 (bails and police rules)
In court, the police force cannot make the bail of crimes so high or so low that it will benefit the wealthy or the poor of McCities. Bail prices distributed in court must be based on the severity of the crime, the current economic state of the server, and the amount of times the crime was committed.

Bail prices distributed when one person is jailed must be the assigned amount given by the Minister. NEVER, can the minister adjust the bail prices in a way which will destroy the economy of the server.

The jurisdiction for the laws of McCities only apply to the server owned cities, private property, and islands but does not apply to the wild, the end, the nether, creative or the architect wolds. The owners of properties may not change whether or not they would like crime legal on their property. It is always illegal besides the exceptions listed above.

SECTION 3 (minister rules)
The minister is the head of the police force. The minister is responsible for making police force rules, laws, hire police, demote police, and promote police. Ministers can create new jobs and ranks in the police force but must get the thoughts of at least one police officer first. The minister shall make no law or rule that violates this constitution unless 2/3 of the police force agree to and a majority (51%) or more of McCities citizens vote on a forum poll to change, edit, or dismantle the constitution

The bails assigned for each law by the Minister must not violate this constitution. The bails assigned by the minister must be reasonable and must be based off of the current economic state of the server.

The minister must not fire any police without giving them warnings before hand and alerting them of the reason and evidence why they were fired unless they have done something that breaks server rules, abuse their permissions, could damage the enforcement of laws or violate this constitution of McCities.

The minister shall not hire any police without the input of the police team unless there are less than a total of 3 cops (excluding chiefs). In that case, the Minister may hire more police officers as necessary until 4 officers when they will be required to get input from the police team. The minister may ONLY be selected and promoted by the owner of McCities at the time.

SECTION 4 (changes to the constitution and laws)
In order for something to be changed (something that is already written) or removed in the constitution. The Minister of Security must create a poll (with the idea) with the Police Team and receive a 2/3 vote yes from them. If that passes, the minister must create a poll on the forums asking what players think about changing. The poll must be 3 days. Not longer nor shorter, and must have 3/4 majority of everyone who voted saying yes. This is the only way to change or altar the constitution.

In order for something to be added to the constitution, the Minister of Security must create a poll (with the idea) with the Police Team and receive a 2/3 vote yes from them. If that passes, the minister must create a poll on the forums asking what players think about adding the idea to the constitution. The poll must be 3 days. Not longer nor shorter, and must have a majority of the citizens who voted (51%) say yes. This is the only way to add something to the constitution.

In order for laws to be changed, added, or removed. The Minister must give the idea in a poll to the police. If 2/3 of the police say yes. The law will be changed, added, or removed. In order for a law to be suggested. A police or the Minister may bring it up. Otherwise, the community may suggest changes, adding or removal of laws through a google form. The vote will only go through the police team and must receive a 2/3 majority saying yes.
