We, the people of the Commonwealth, determine that we shall secure for ourselves and our posterity the fruits of peaceful cooperation with all nations and the blessings of liberty throughout this land, and resolved that never again shall we be visited with the horrors of war through the action of government, do proclaim that sovereign power resides with the people and do firmly establish this Constitution. Government is a sacred trust of the people, the authority for which is derived from the people, the powers of which are exercised by the representatives of the people, and the benefits of which are enjoyed by the people. This is a universal principle of mankind upon which this Constitution is founded. We reject and revoke all constitutions, laws and ordinances in conflict herewith. We, the people of the Commonwealth, desire peace for all time and are deeply conscious of the high ideals controlling human relationship and we have determined to preserve our security and existence, trusting in the justice and faith of the peace-loving peoples of the world. We desire to occupy an honored place in an international society striving for the preservation of peace, and the banishment of tyranny and slavery, oppression and intolerance for all time from the earth. We recognize that all peoples of the world have the right to live in peace, free from fear and want. We believe that the proper basis of government is to provide for the human goals of stability of the human physical energy system, mental certainty, emotional elaboration and satisfaction, and sensitivity to natural environmental field effects, and that its’ only legitimate claim to existence is joy, fulfillment and satisfaction, not fear, scarcity, and physical endangerment. We believe that no nation is responsible to itself alone, but that laws of political morality are universal; and that obedience to such laws is incumbent upon all nations who would sustain their own sovereignty and justify their sovereign relationship with other nations. We, the people of the Commonwealth, pledge our national honor to accomplish these high ideals and purposes with all our resources.

For those concerned about Article 7 (3), an election will ensue after Parliament is dissolved:

However, the Cabinet may, in time of national emergency, convoke the House of Councilors in emergency session. (3) Measures taken at such session as mentioned in the proviso of the preceding paragraph shall be provisional and shall become null and void unless agreed to by the House of Representatives within a period of ten (10) days after the next opening of the next session of Parliament.
This is an important power of the emperor. For example, after 9/11/01 the US passed the Patriot Act. I would have dissolved Parliament before they had a chance to make it a law. I would have told the public that it goes too far, and would have been applauded by most of the citizens. The US Constitution would have been left intact.
Doing something like this doesn't mean I am a dictator, and it isn't as risky as it sounds.
What would a Monarch say about the new Military Commissions Act?
I think that the proponents of the MCA take a very miserly view of current law enforcement standards and their effectiveness. They also take a very miserly view of the Constitutional separation of powers, the Bill of Rights, International Law, the Geneva Conventions and even the idea that the President should be obliged to tell the American public the truth from time to time.
They expect the Sovereign People to be magnanimous enough to trust government officials on matters of guilt or innocence without benefit of legal rigor even in the midst of rascals and decievers.
"The Jews belong to a dark and repulsive force. One knows how numerous this clique is, how they stick together and what power they exercise through their unions. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers." ~Cicero
I can tell you, a REAL emperor with the powers expressed in this Constitution of the Commonwealth of Eonitao would not allow this Constitutional crisis to happen!
Amen.
