Article 6 Administrative Development Standards under Permanent Peace
Preface
Who is betraying our future? Who repeatedly carries out constitutional ‘reform’ to consolidate dictatorship? Who is plundering the resources of the present and future generations? Who is the enemy of our permanent peaceful development? The answer is not ‘others, it is our ' own ' party government, a government supported by the hard-earned money of our taxpayers.
Therefore
The Charter for Permanent Peace / Human Constitutional Standards / All-powerful Strategic Constitution is based on the definitions of the UN Global Governance Council: super-national level, national level, sub-national level, and the design outlines an administrative co-opetitive system down to the village and community.
The national system is a modified semi-presidential system [1] . The legislature has 12 standing committees and a number of ad hoc committees in the cabinet. The prime minister and ministers are elected by the National Legislature to form elected members in the various professional committees. The central government is responsible to the legislature and is closely linked to the system design.
To implement global governance and humanity, elected agency heads in government are not limited by nationality, but must be citizens of fully democratic countries. The heads of the three key bureaus in local governments are also elected by the people. The "three-in-one / one-vote single-choice system" is adopted to systematically encourage third forces to enter the system.
This Constitution requires the government to increase wisdom, pursue truth, create happiness, and honor value; the constitution thus guarantees [Taiwan] will be an administrative example of permanent peace and contribute to the people of the whole world.
This set of national systems pursues the best administrative quality, efficacy and efficiency through various systems and comparisons with countries, and analyzes the results. Such a mechanism has none of the fatal shortcomings found in all contemporary systems, plus its advantages are unprecedented. See Appendix Table 24: List of the advantages of the world's major semi-presidential countries; Appendix Table 25: List of shortcomings of the world's major semi-presidential countries;, Appendix Table 26: Summary of the world's major presidential state operations; Appendix Table 27: World Presidents List of Disadvantages of National Operational Operations; Appendix Table 28: List of Advantages of National Major Parliamentary Countries; Appendix Table 29: List of Disadvantages of National Major Parliamentary Countries; Appendix Table 30: List of National Operational Advantages of Major Member States; Appendix Table 31: World Commission Schedule of Disadvantages of State Operation; Appendix Table 32: A list of the unique advantages of the Permanent and Charter compared to the current state. The shortcomings of others cannot be found in this charter, while the advantages of this charter can serve as a model for all countries, allowing them to fully repair the shortcomings of global administration, and demonstrating to the world the advantages of striving for the minimum standards for leading humankind.
To this end, the people of [Taiwan] and those oppressed around the world have nothing to lose but the iron curtains and walls, violence and lies that constrain them, while others will lose nothing, rather gaining prosperity under permanent peace.
Figure 6-1: National administration shall comply with rolling reform to meet more than 20,000 international standards (ISO), and then be integrated into administrative constitutional standards for permanent peace and sustainable development through standardization:

[5] See Basic Constitution of Germany §24.1a, “Transfer of sovereign powers – System of collective security”: Insofar as the Länder are competent to exercise state powers and to perform state functions, they may, with the consent of the Federal Government, transfer sovereign powers to trans-frontier institutions in neighboring regions.

[9] At present, there are 249 major political entities in the world, including 193 UN members (not including disputed areas).
[10] It is the primary responsibility of the state to create conditions conducive to the overall development of the people and individuals in accordance with the concepts proclaimed in the UN Declaration on Social Progress and Development .
[11] Among the 45 presidents of the US, the youngest was 42 at inauguration and the oldest 70, while the majority were in their 50s, 25 presidents or 55.6%; 11 were over 60, accounting for 24.4%; and those aged 50 to 60 accounted for 20%, only 9 persons. Most cabinet members are somewhere between 50 and 60 years old, generally in the same range as the president.
[12] See Constitution of the Republic of Korea (2010) , §70: The term of the office of the President shall be five years, without reelection.
[13] The US Vice President acts as Speaker of the Senate, § 1.3 of the US Constitution . If the president cannot handle a matter for any reason it is not easy for the prime minister to act in his/her stead. Hitler was appointed Prime Minister by German President Hindenburg in 1933. After Hindenburg’s death in the following year, Hitler became the head of Germany and served as the supreme commander of the German armed forces. History is full of such examples.
[14] See Annex Figure 2: Appendix Table 22: Semi-Presidential System (Double Supreme System) Country (Some Countries), Appendix Table 23: Improved Semi-Presidential System State ~ How the President, Prime Minister and Heads of supreme agencies are elected/assigned, and whether or not there is a deputy authority.
[15] See § 2.2 of the US Constitution : ... With the exception of impeachment cases, he has the right to grant pardons and amnesty for those who violate the laws of the US.
[16] See §72 o f the Constitution of the Republic of Korea , The President may submit important policies relating to diplomacy, national defense, unification, and other matters relating to the national destiny to a national referendum if he deems it necessary.
[17] See Constitution of October 4, 1958 (France), §21.1, The Prime Minister shall direct the actions of the Government. He shall be responsible for national defence.
[18] See Constitution of October 4, 1958 (France), §21.1-2, The Prime Minister shall direct the actions of the Government. He shall be responsible for national defence. He shall ensure the implementation of legislation. Subject to article 13, he shall have power to make regulations and shall make appointments to civil and military posts. He may delegate certain of his powers to Ministers.
[19] Let the autocratic dictator disappear on the earth, and no one take turns sitting as the president and the minister during a certain period of time.
[20] The "combined-vote-single-ballot system" means that the names of three candidates are printed on the same ballot and voters can choose only one person. Thus it is not easy for the city mayor or county magistrate, the chief comptroller and the auditor to belong to the same political party. Political parties are not necessarily sheltered from each other’s power plays and greed.
[21] For example, my two brothers lived close to each other in the same village but became silos since they supported different candidates for village chief once. Afterwards, the elected-village chief ran again and continued office for 2 terms, but the two brothers remained estranged until they died. The election of the village chief is the keystone in bearing the weight of democracy.

Compulsory military service applies to all male Swiss citizens from the age of 22 to 42, with women serving voluntarily. B. Israel Defense Forces: Compulsory military service applies to all citizens with initial orders at the age of 18. 3 years for male, and 2 years for female. All Israelis who served in the military and are under the age of 40, unless otherwise exempt, are eligible for reserve duty.
