constituent act

The Charter was presented as a gift from the King to the people, not as a constituent act of the people.

It is also proposed postponing discharge for five agencies that receive money from the EU Budget until their constituent acts are brought into line with the new Financial Regulation.

The Congress of the Council of Europe launched a Black Sea Euroregion on 26 September 2008, when the constituent act was signed by 14 authorities in four countries.

Since traditionally such Constituent Acts did not need to be signed by the Crown, the King never signed it, permitting him to claim, years later, that he had never signed any document instituting the junta.

This was because all resolutions passed by a given session of the Sejm formed a whole resolution, and, as such, was published as the annual 'constituent act' of the Sejm, e.g., Anno Domini 1667.
