Amendment VI — Constitutional Compatibility & Structural Preservation
Section 1. Preservation of the Existing Branches
Nothing in this Amendment shall be construed to alter, replace, diminish, or supersede the powers vested in the Legislative, Executive, or Judicial Branches under Articles I, II, and III of the Constitution. The Fourth Branch shall operate as a continuous consent and accountability mechanism, not as a legislative, executive, or judicial authority.
Section 2. Advisory Force with Binding Acknowledgment
Verified majority public sentiment, as recorded through the People’s Vote infrastructure, shall require formal acknowledgment by elected officials within a defined response period. Such acknowledgment shall not compel enactment but shall require public explanation consistent with oath of office and constitutional duty.
Section 3. Rights Firewall
No resolution, referendum, or recall initiated through the Fourth Branch shall abrogate, suspend, or diminish rights secured under the Bill of Rights, subsequent Amendments, or binding Supreme Court precedent. Any proposal implicating fundamental rights shall require:
(a) a two-thirds supermajority of verified participants, and
(b) automatic judicial review prior to implementation.
Section 4. Federalism & State Autonomy
Implementation of continuous consent mechanisms shall be federated. States retain authority over electoral administration consistent with this Amendment. No centralized national data repository of individual voting records shall exist.
