Martian constitution
The Martian constitution is the basis of the Martian government.
It was drafted following the Second Martian Revolution which had resulted in the independence of Mars from Terran rule. It was based on elements discussed and agreed upon by the Martian underground in the Dorsa Brevia Conference of 2107.

Following the ratification, Charlotte Dorsa Brevia, who had participated to its drafting, published some notes and commentary.

- Article 4: The Global Government and the Towns and Settlements
