Census Revision Amendment

The Census Revision Amendment, also known popularly as the Bureaucratic Composition Amendment, refers to a group of amendments proposed to the United States of Quentin Constitution by members of the nation's Congress since 2014. These seven proposals which have occurred thus far have changed in their exact wording, however the main purpose of all proposals has been to change the Constitution's requirement for a census to be taken every 20 years, instead reducing it to every ten years. Additionally, the amendments would remove the Constitution's requirements to take into account GDP and growth of a state, instead only having population as the metric for changing a state's representation in the House of Bureaucrats. The amendments have been proposed in response to the 2014 decision by the Supreme Council regarding the composition of the House of Bureaucrats based upon population and GDP as reported by the census that same year. The decision was made by Supreme Decider Matthew Bourne and the 27th Supreme Council, and garnered a large outcry of criticism from the public on the grounds that it favored the rich, excluded minorities, and did not take into account any growth, only maintaining the status quo from 1994. Ultimately, Bourne and the court were not criticized too heavily for the decision, and instead the Constitution and its requirements took the blame, prompting the proposal of the CRA.

The first CRA proposal in 2014 passed the House of Representatives but died in the House of Bureaucrats, with the Fundamentalist Party strictly opposing the CRA. The second, third, and fourth proposals either died in the House of Bureaucrats, died in the House of Representatives, or died in the Congressional Committee of Amendments (CCA). After the 2018 reelection of Mild RePublican President Kyle Lovestington, however, the Fundamentalist Party switched sides on the issue, favoring the CRA. Since then, two proposals died in the House of Representatives, after being voted down by the Mild RePublican Party. The seventh proposal was passed by the CCA on October 30th after six days of discussion, and moved on to the House of Representatives on November 12th.
