=== The Second Amendment - Amendment of the Hierarchy Tree===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
This amendment is proposed, due to the growing need for structure within the Empire, both in the army and in the civilian classes. Furthermore a more structured base for expansion and administration of territory becomes ever so needed.
<strong>Section 1 – Revision of Government ranks</strong>
'''The following ranks shall be removed:'''
* Chief of Police
* Chancellor of the Exchequer
* Minister of Justice
* Minister of Defence
The Minister of Defence and Justice will be introduced and will take over the previous tasks of both Ministers of Justice and Defence.
'''Section 2 – Chain of Command/Hierarchy Structure'''
The '''Master Hierarchy''' is to become the new standard form from which every position springs from. Any disputes between the chain of command can be cleared with The <em>Master Hierarchy</em>.
The Master Hierarchy is split into three smaller trees: the <em>higher class tree</em>, the <em>lower navy tree </em> and the <em>lower civil tree</em>.
[[File:BE Hierarchy Tree 01.06.2017.png|750px|left|]]
Citizens can only be promoted an army rank in the higher class tree if they have the highest rank in the <em>lower navy tree</em>. Citizens can only be promoted to one of the adjacent civil ranks in the <em>higher class tree</em> if they hold a civil rank.
All Government members including Lords may either grant titles or promote from both the <em>lower navy tree</em> and the <em>lower civil tree</em>.
Only the Minister of Defense and Justice and Admiral can promote people from the <em>lower navy tree</em> into the <em>higher class tree</em>.
The Minister of Recruitment, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary can promote from the <em>lower civil tree</em>, into the <em>higher class tree</em>.
