The Constitution Of The Northwest American Republic
[October 2006 Draft]
Preamble
In the name of the Divine Creator of all things we, the
Aryan peoples of the earth, do hereby set forth this Constitution of the Northwest American Republic,
in order that we may secure the existence of our people and a future for White
children.
1: Nationhood and Citizenship
Article I. The Northwest
American Republic
shall be a Homeland solely for the use and habitation of White people of all
nationalities, cultures and creeds worldwide, in order that Western
civilization may be preserved and White children may be raised to responsible
adulthood in safety, prosperity and tranquility. We must secure the existence
of our people and a future for White children. Such is the overriding principle
of this Constitution. Nothing incompatible with this prime directive may be
held by any authority to be constitutional.
Article II. All White people, of any nationality or previous
citizenship, shall have the right to live permanently in the Northwest American
Republic as legal
residents.
Article III. Citizenship in the Republic, as opposed to
legal residence and domicile, to include exercise of the franchise and
participation in government and the political process, shall not be
automatically conferred at birth, or through racial identity alone. Citizenship
shall be earned through responsibility fulfilled.
Article IV. Residence and citizenship in the Northwest Republic shall be restricted, absolutely
and for all time, to those persons of unmixed Caucasian racial descent from any
one of the historic family of European nations, who shall have no known or
identifiable non-White ancestry, and no visibly non-White element in their
genetic makeup.
Article V. The race commonly known as Jews are in culture
and historic tradition an Asiatic people, and shall not be considered White or
accorded White racial status under law. No Jew shall be allowed to enter or to
reside in the Northwest
American Republic
under any circumstances.
Article VI. Citizenship in the Republic and the right to
exercise the electoral franchise shall be divided into three classes, with each
class of citizenship holding one, two, and three votes respectively. Those who
demonstrate superior civic and political responsibility, and who display the
greatest dedication to state service, and who thereby achieve a higher class of
citizenship, shall thereby have the greatest say in the political process.
Article VII. Citizenship in the Northwest American
Republic may be legally
reduced or revoked by a court of law, by the Bureau of Race and Resettlement or
other competent governmental authority, by act of the National Convention, or
by decree of the State President, which bodies and authorities may also grant
or restore citizenship. Grounds for revocation or reduction of citizenship
shall be
1. Conviction of a felony.
2. Medically certified mental defect or insanity.
3. Proven non-White racial descent to include Jewish
ancestry.
4. Willful miscegenation with persons of non-White race.
5. Factual proof of the commission of acts of homosexuality.
Article VIII. Standards of race and citizenship shall be
established by a Bureau of Race and Resettlement, which shall set all racial
parameters and codes, establish scientific and cultural standards of racial
identity, and which shall make determination in individual cases where
applicable.
Article IX. Whereas the basis of all human civilization has
been, and shall remain, the traditional nuclear family based on the institution
of marriage, with the wife and mother as the heart and the gainfully employed
father as the head, the Northwest American Republic herewith acknowledges this
traditional family unit and the values historically attached to it as the
foundation of the state, and declares that the protection of the family shall
be and shall remain a primary goal and supporting pillar of the Republic, its
laws and institutions.

Republic, and the authority of the National Convention and the State President.

courts.
Article IV. The basis of the body politic of the Northwest American Republic
shall be the roster of all persons holding citizenship in the Republic, which

institution of the national referendum.
