Statute 312b

The Fourth Constitutional Amendment, officially titled Statute 312b, represents a change to the established Galactic Constitution. This alteration was enacted by the Galactic Senate amidst the turmoil of the Clone Wars. The effect of the amendment was to increase the voting influence of the Core Worlds, Colonies, and Inner Rim relative to planets located in the outer regions of the galaxy, thereby hastening the departure of these peripheral systems to form the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
