The Seventh Amendment (VII), also written as the 7th Amendment, to the United States of Quentin Constitution is an amendment ratified in 1851 by the federal government of the nation. The amendment establishes the necessity and permanence of a Department of Defense, and establishes the functions and administrative roles of the Quentinian Army under the department. It has served as the guideline for the organization of all service branches of the armed forces.

The amendment was originally introduced to the Congressional Committee of Amendments by Fundamentalist Head Bureaucrat Jim Clockington in December of 1850, and received much support from the Fundamentalist-controlled Congress. After passing on March 29th, the act of emendation was sent to the President, then Sam Logan, for his approval, however Logan was a Mild RePublican, and greatly opposed the act of emendation. After the veto by President Logan on August 30th, however, the combined Congress was able to override the veto for the first and only time in the history of acts of emendation, and sent it to the Supreme Council on September 1st. After 17 days of deliberations, the Council approved it, and on September 18th, 1851 it became law.

The Seventh Amendment, along with the Fourth Amendment and others, is perhaps one of the most controversial amendments in history, though not for many citizens and the general public. This is mainly because of its wording, and its declaration that, "a Department of Defense is a fundamental and Constitution-given aspect...it shall be forever crucial and established as one." Many critics of the amendment have pointed to this as an abuse of power by Congress and an amendment, and that the Constitution establishes that the President and only the President has authority over affairs in the executive branch. Proponents of the amendment, however, state that the Constitution is supreme, and that an amendment is considered a component of the Constitution, that the Congress followed all rules and regulations the document laid out for creating amendments, and the act keeps the nation safe.
