What is the Republic's System in the People's Republic Party?

The system itself is a federal social democratic state with a social welfare state economy. Unlike many of our counterpart governmental systems within Identity, we do not consternate executive, legislative, and judicial powers under one party. The party does not control the day to day operations of the government or the structure of the system itself. It is a hub for the people (citizens of the Republic) to use their new found right to directly inform the government of its will, however, IT IS NOT a Marxist-Lenin-Maoism system or a communism state party.

 

The President under our Constitution is the chief executive of the federal government (not the head of the party itself) and is responsible for carrying out the laws of the Republic while the General Assembly makes and passes the laws with the consent of the citizens. No laws will be passed without the citizens consenting to it. The Judicial Branch interprets the law and deems any law constitutional or unconstitutional.

 

The system is very similar to the United States version but in our system, the people controls the government completely through their direct democratic right to affect change. What makes our system different and unique is that we use a parliamentary representative system but we also use a direct democratic system where only the citizens have the final say on their laws passing or not after it has passed the Assembly.

 

The People are also encouraged to participate in amendments passing and impeachment proceeding for the two branches of government (Legislative and Executive) but it also comes with a price. The Supreme Court can halt the citizens votes if the court deems the laws passed unconstitutional. This puts a check on the People's voting powers. The President can also veto the votes by both the Assembly and the People but this veto can be overridden by both parties.

I would not mind expressing that one cannot possess a "Communism State Party" since "Communism" involves completely abolishing the state, indicating that it is a "stateless" society.

Question: Does the party believe that "Private Property" should be abolished? If not, then it cannot be classified as any where near a Socialist party. The correct terminology would be "Social-Democracy" rather than "Democratic-Socialist".

P.S. I would recommend altering the abbreviation for the party since it would be confusing for "The People's Revolutionary Party" and "The People's Republic Party" to consist of "P.R.P.". By any chance, would it be suitable to alter the name of the party without losing it's meaning?

"The Democratic-People's Republic Party" would be one of my suggestions.
