−	~~The [[Current~~ constitution ~~(Nova Roma)\|current text]]~~ and ~~various older versions can be found~~ in ~~a [[:Category:Constitution (~~Nova Roma~~)\|special section~~ of the ''~~tabularium~~'']].	+	Sine the ancient Romans did not know the concept of a "constitution", but similarly to the British legal system, they had an unwritten constitution that was manifested in traditions and several particular laws written in its spirit, Nova Roma avoids the use of the term "constitution", and instead we refer to the specific ''lex'' which serves as the Constitution of Nova Roma at a given time. Instead of the word "constitution", the terms "lex constitutiva" or "lex suprema" may also be used.

		+	The '''current constitution''' of Nova Roma is the '''[[lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda (Nova Roma)\|lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda]]''' (the "Cornelian-Domitian law on the constitution of the republic"). Both the current constitution and all other laws of Nova Roma can be found in our [[:Category:Constitution (Nova Roma)\|'''Tabularium''']], the section of our website which collects the legal documents of Nova Roma.

		+	===The Third Constitution of Nova Roma===
		+
		+	The third ''lex constitutiva'' was introduced by the legislation of consul Cn. Equitius Marinus Censorius in {{2004}}, and it was largely based on the latest version of the Vedian Constitution, but the text was revised and corrected. Its modified versions can be read below:

		+
		+	===The Fourth Constitution of Nova Roma===
		+
		+	The fourth ''lex constitutiva'' was first enacted as a temporary measure to solve an internal crisis in Nova Roma, akin to the second Vedian Constitution, by consuls Cn. Lentulus Alexander and T. Domitius Draco, in {{2016}}, and after the resolution of the crisis, it was made the permanent Constitution of Nova Roma by the lex Lucilia:
		+	*[[Constitution IV - MMDCCLXIX (Nova Roma)\|The Cornelian-Domitian Constitution IV, a fully new text enacted on 26 December, 2016, as a temporary constitution of Nova Roma, by the lex Cornelia Domitia de re publica constituenda]]
