ARTICLE VIII
Ratification
Method of Ratification: The ratification of the Conventions of three-fourths of the [Sub-domains], shall be sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution between the [Sub-domains] so ratifying the same. (U.S.C. VII)
. . . * . . .
> A strong majority of three to one assures the people that their Legislators or convention delegates have carefully considered, debated and crafted the Constitution for their utmost security, benefit and welfare.
> Requiring ratification by all Sub-domains would put too much power into the hands of a single discontent which could prevent its going into effect.
> The ratification process requires an up or down vote by each Sub-domain's legislature.
> Considering proposals to modify the Constitution would cause impossible delay and confusion. An amendment procedure is therefor available to correct any problems and revise the Constitution.
> Only Sub-domains ratifying the Constitution would enjoy its protection and benefits which they would receive in exchange for assuming some obligations.
> The founders of the United States believed that success is best secured when Divine Providence is implored and thanked for His help.
> They also believed that careful deliberation on each point by men and women genuinely concerned to do what is right and in the best interests of the people is best needed for a successful outcome. Posturing to the media for popularity or stumping for voters to stay in office is a diversion from their sacred duty and bodes a less favorable outcome.
In witness whereof, we, the authorized delegates of ____________ Sub-domains, each of sound mind and after careful reflection, set our hand and seal at ____________________________+___________________________,
this ________________________ day of ____________________________,
