Each state shall have a written constitution that, in addition to the fundamental provisions outlined in the central constitution, addresses specific local issues in a manner that does not conflict with the central constitution. This state constitution will reflect the state's material, social, and cultural conditions and serve as a preliminary step toward unifying the constitutions of the states with the central government, as well as achieving legislative unity. The state constitution must specify the structure of the state government, as well as the governments of its districts, cities, and villages. It includes provisions to ensure the state's development and is subject to continuous amendment, either through general referenda or the state legislative council. The aim of these amendments is to facilitate the state’s progress toward full integration with the federal system and conformity with the central constitution.
The state constitution is the source of authority for its government. Under its provisions, a legislative council is elected by residents of the state - men and women aged eighteen and above. This legislative council holds, in relation to the state, all the powers that the central parliament holds in relation to the central government, as it is, in essence, an extension of the central parliament, just as the state government is an extension of the central government.
The constitution also allows state citizens to elect their governor. The governor may be a resident of the state or, if deemed beneficial by the population, an appointee from outside the state. The elected governor appoints deputies responsible for assisting in the state’s development and coordinating the efforts of its districts. The governor is accountable to the state’s citizens, while the deputies serve as executive officers for the central government’s primary branches, such as education, health, finance, agriculture, trade and industry, defense, and labor.
The state also has committees that are considered extensions of the independent committees in the central government. The state has a civil service system that operates along the same lines as that of the central government.
Each state has its own judiciary. Judges are nominated by the governor with the assistance of the legislative council and appointed by the President of the Republic with the approval of the Chief Justice. Judges operate with complete independence and transparency and are subject only to the oversight of the central judiciary, headed by a deputy of the Chief Justice overseeing state-level courts.
Each state has a Supreme Court that oversees its judiciary, and appeals from its courts are directed to the Central Supreme Court. The state also has its own police force sufficient to maintain internal security, and this force is directly under the authority of the state governor.
In addition, each state, like the central government, has an administrative court responsible for resolving disputes between individuals, organizations, and the state government. Furthermore, each state has a Constitutional Court that handles disputes regarding the constitutionality of laws and has the authority to interpret the state constitution. Appeals from the state’s Constitutional Court are made to the Central Constitutional Court.
