Legal Scholars debate the historic, but never used, New Democracy Act; What exactly is it?

December 13th, 5687

Within PAX, there are a myriad of laws, rejected and accepted, used and discarded. However, one law that legal scholars have debated ever since the first multi party election in 5625, is the New Democracy Act. Passed a handful of years before those elections, the NDA has technically never been evoked. Because it's not a normal law. When Comrade Bhutia was preparing the transition to pluralism, the CPX had considerable concerns over pluralism and whether socialism would be able to survive because of it. While with hindsight, we can say it has survived and thrived, the CPX in 5625 could not say so and so, they drafted the New Democracy Act. But what exactly is the New Democracy Act?

Well, think of it as the break in case of emergency bill. The New Democracy Act was drafted in the event that revisionists were elected and threatened socialism in Xsampa. So what does the NDA do? Well, it's essentially a legal coup in all but name. If invoked, which requires the approval of the Premier, People's Commissar of Revolutionary Defense, and the Custodian, it would allow the Xsampan Democratic Army to temporarily take full authority of the nation, dissolve PAX, temporarily suspend elections, and empower the CPX as the revolutionary vanguard party, essentially restoring a dictatorship of the proletariat. Because of the nature of the NDA and the strict requirements to invoke it, it's obviously never been involved as the Democratic Socialist Experiment has largely been successful. However, it's also been largely ignored in terms of repealing it. Simply on the basis of, why bother when there's more pressing matters? 

So, the NDA has largely been debated by legal scholars, both in how it offers a contrast to bourgeois democracies in where rights are derived from, and the ramifications of the NDA. Looping to that first part, most scholars are in agreement that among all democracies in the world, Xsampan democracy is unique in that while it is free, it is not free in a liberal sense. In liberal democracies, rights are a given. Inherent. Foundational. In Xsampa, it is the revolution that grants rights, and so, it is the revolution that comes first. After all, what rights do you have under economic slavery? The socialist revolution is vital to the Xsampan identity. Whatever the case, the NDA has already been a favorite pet topic of legal scholars and legal nerds alike for simply how unique the Act is, and if invoked, what it could do.
