The Rabian Constitution
ORIGIN of the constitution
Former Constitutional documents or instruments with the same effect are enacted in 1929. However, due to historical reasons, the Constitution is enacted in 2017 and approved by a constitutional referendum, and promulgated by Her Majesty the Queen Mary's Royal Assent in December 2017.
In 2018, according to the result of a referendum, Rabbistan begins its transition to a neutral state. Later this year, resolutions from the Parliament stipulated that there will be a reform towards direct democracy. Thus, a number of relevant clauses should be altered to comply with current situation of the Kingdom. Therefore, in December 2018, Amendment I to the Constitution is enacted.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms
THe guarantee of well-being of Rabian citizens
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects a number of rights and freedoms, including freedom of expression and the right to equality. It forms part of our constitutional documents – the highest law in all of Rabbistan – and is one of our country’s greatest accomplishments. The document itself is a supplement to the clauses in the Constitution of the similar content, which can be considered vague and unclear before promulgation of the Charter.
As prescribed in our Constitution, we uphold the universal values, including the supremacy of human rights. Rabbistan is one of the few micronations that actually protect citizens' rights and freedoms by legislation. As Rabian citizens, we are proud that we uphold these values and practise them in our daily lives.

The Montevideo Convention
The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States is a treaty signed at Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 26, 1933, during the Seventh International Conference of American States. The Convention codifies the declarative theory of statehood as accepted as part of customary international law. At the conference, United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull declared the Good Neighbour Policy, which opposed U.S. armed intervention in inter-American affairs. The convention was signed by 19 states. The acceptance of three of the signatories was subject to minor reservations. Those states were Brazil, Peru and the United States.
The convention became operative on December 26, 1934. It was registered in League of Nations Treaty Series on January 8, 1936.
As a restatement of customary international law, the Montevideo Convention merely codified existing legal norms and its principles and therefore does not apply merely to the signatories, but to all subjects of international law as a whole.
The European Union, in the principal statement of its Badinter Committee, follows the Montevideo Convention in its definition of a state: by having a territory, a population, and a political authority. The committee also found that the existence of states was a question of fact, while the recognition by other states was purely declaratory and not a determinative factor of statehood.
Switzerland, although not a member of the European Union, adheres to the same principle, stating that "neither a political unit needs to be recognised to become a state, nor does a state have the obligation to recognise another one. At the same time, neither recognition is enough to create a state, nor does its absence abolish it."
As per the Convention, Rabbistan has been already qualified as an independent nation.
