Human rights: Protected rights include: private property, free press, free speech, religion, peaceful assembly, petition, privacy, and equal protection under the law regardless of ethnic or national origin, race, sex, sexual orientation, or caste.

About your System: Seeing as how the people of Svarna Surya have reached out to the international community for their governance, His Royal Majesty the King of Arrenland, with the full support of the Chancellor of the Witenagemot and the Executive Council, have deigned to bless the Svarnan people with a once-in-a-lifetime offer. Under this proposed system of government, Svarna Surya shall adopt for its monarch His Royal Majesty the King. The new Svarnan government shall be based heavily on the Arrenlander model (which has functioned fairly well for centuries), except for the inclusion of more elements of federalism to account for Svarna Surya's massive population. State governments shall be given considerable power over local affairs.

Rest assured however, that the king very rarely, if ever, practices his nominal veto authority. The Crown of Arrenland has maintained a long tradition of non-interference in the governing of those elected by the people.

Local governments, which members are elected through FPTP and which may serve for one/two year term in the Upper House

Human rights:
Free speech and assembly, free press, Freedom of region, No discrimnation for ethnic, race, sex, sexual orientation or caste, separation of powers and rule of law, independent judiciary, respect to private property, etc.


About your System:
-The President is the commander-in-chief, signs treaties and represent the nation abroad. He is supposed to lead the defense and foreign policy, but it would require cooperation with the Prime Minister and the parliament to implement it. He may have veto powers on laws passed by the parliament, but both houses of parliament may overrun it with a 2/3 or 3/4 majority. He may be elected through a runoff system or through an electoral college.
-The Prime Minister and the National Cabinet are required to have parliamentary support, and they direct the country's domestic policy. If the President has not support of the parliament, then the largest political party/coalition leads the domestic policy.
-The Upper House is supposed to have a secondary role, proposing amends to laws passed by the Lower House, approving the national budget and constitutional ammends. As it may change often its composition with only indirectly influence of voters, it may impulse more consensus in the parliament. The lot system could serve as well to assure a number of ethnic/religious minorities have a minimum of seats in the Upper House.

Additional (optional) features:
The President may  be reelected only once (for a four-year presidential term) or even not able to be reelected (for a 5 or more year term).
The President may call national referendums (with/without approval of the parliament or majority of states)
A majority of the states (2/3 or 3/4 of all states) may call for a referendum to decide if the president continues or early presidential elections are called (unlike an impeachment vote, the president would be able to run as candidate in those elections).  This early presidential referendum can only be called once per term.
