			== Contents ==

			=== Preamble ===
			The Novus Carta's preamble reads,<ref name=":0">Novus Carta (p. 1)</ref><blockquote>Addressing the failures of the Union’s previous Constitution, it is our utmost belief that in order to protect the security, well being and cooperation of organizations that reside on this game, we must establish a new charter that will further advance us towards the goal of creating a community where players can Play, Create, Share, and Unite with one another in peace through the efforts of the LittleBigPlanet Union. </blockquote>The preamble of the Novus Carta formally recognized that the previous constitution of the LBP Union had failed. The preamble outlined the goals of the Union and of the Novus Carta itself.

			=== Article 1 ===
			The first article of the Novus Carta outlines the legislative powers and structures in the LBP Union. Section 1 established the [[LittleBigPlanet Union Parliament]], which was composed of the General Assembly and the Security Council.<ref name=":0" /> Section 2 defined that representatives from member states would be members of the parliament. This section defined the responsibilities of representatives and most importantly established activity quotas. However, after the passage of the Commissioner Accord, representatives would be replaced by Commissioners, who were a council of member state leaders.<ref name=":1">Novus Carta (pp. 1-2)</ref>

			Sections 3 established the first elections for the LBP Union's core government, establishing the positions of the Speaker of the General Assembly and the Chairman of the Security Council. These two positions would be elected by the representatives.<ref name=":1" />

			Sections 4 and 5 established a list of topical categories for proposals in the General Assembly and Security Council.<ref>Novus Carta (p. 4)</ref>

			Section 6 defined resolutions as Union law, requiring all Union member states to adhere to their contents once passed by the parliament. This section also outlined the methods for how proposals would be considered and voted upon.<ref>Novus Carta (p. 6)</ref>

			Section 7 required that the LBP Union Parliament must have two meetings per month: one for the General Assembly and the other for the Security Council.<ref>Novus Carta (p. 7)</ref>

			=== Article 2 ===
			Article 2 defined executive power in the LBP Union. Section 1 affirmed the existence and powers of the [[LBP Union Protectors\|Protectors]] of the LittleBigPlanet Union. Sections 2-8 established the positions of the Vice President, Ministers of Domestic Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Defense, Security, and Intelligence.<ref>Novus Carta (pp. 8-12)</ref>

			=== Article 3 ===
			Article 3 described the judicial powers of the LBP Union, particularly with the LBP Union Supreme Court. Section 1 established the Supreme Court and also authorized member states to establish their own LBP Union courts.<ref>Novus Carta (p. 13)</ref>

			Section 2 is a modified version of a section from the United States Constitution. It describes a few situations in which judicial power may be utilized.<ref>Novus Carta (p. 13)</ref> Section 3 defined treason against the LittleBigPlanet Union.<ref>Novus Carta (p. 14)</ref>

			=== Article 4 ===
			Article 4 described rights and responsibilities of LBP Union member states and citizens. Section 1 affirmed the sovereignty of member states, but required them to adhere to Union law. Section 2 formally defined the term ''Citizen of the LittleBigPlanet Union.''<ref>Novus Carta (p. 15)</ref>

			Section 3 required that the LBP Union host a summit meeting monthly. This was used to guage activity of member states. If they did not excuse themselves from the meeting or did not attend, then their member state status would be revoked.<ref>Novus Carta (pp. 15-16)</ref>

			Section 4 described how clans could become member states of the LBP Union. Originally, the Novus Carta described that the LBP Union Protectors would make the decision with a simple majority vote. However, after the Commissioner Accord amendment was passed, a two-thirds majority vote from the Union Commission was added as a method of approving new member states.<ref>Novus Carta (p. 16)</ref>
