1. Whether to allow a prime minister who is appointed and not elected. Allowing a nonelected prime minister has been feared as possibly opening the way for the Army and coup makers to hold on to power.

2. Whether to allow a special crisis committee - made up of 11 people from different groups in society - to make decisions for the country in times of national tur¬moil. The decision made by the CDC could become law, but it has been criticised as possibly unde¬mocratic.

3. How many MPs will have seats in Parliament, and whether or not to maintain partylist MPs. Some partylist MPs have simply been capitalists who claimed sup¬port from millions of people nationwide. But others say a door should be open for capable people who are not good at getting local people to vote for them. They also say it is better to know which cap¬italists back up various politicians, than not.

4. The number of senators, and how they should be elected, or selected. It will be discussed whether to allow voters to elect sen¬ators or select them via a commit¬tee. The Senate has been criticised as being full of MPs' families and cronies, so it is important how to try to prevent that. But if the Senate is selected, its authority may also be reduced.

5. Who will take charge of an interim government when a Cabinet concludes its term. Politicians have previously run interim administrations but could take advantage of this in prepara¬tions for an upcoming election.

Issues to be voted without dis¬cussion include:

1. Whether free mandatory edu¬cation provided by the government should be for nine years instead of 12.

2. Whether to include the chiefs of the Army, Navy and Air Force on the special crisis committee (as in item 2 above).

3. Whether to include referen¬dums and elections as constitu¬tional rights.

4. Whether to state that "A per¬son shall have a duty to vote" instead of "People shall have a duty to exercise their right to vote". (To prevent argument on whether vot¬ing is a right or a duty).

5. Whether to include a require¬ment for the state to provide fun¬damental facilities necessary for people's lives, and not to let such facilities be controlled or taken over by private operators. The same sec¬tion will look at whether to protect and promote people's occupations.

6. Whether to include inheri¬tance tax (tax on real estate) in the Constitution.

7. Whether to include a pro¬gressive realestate tax in the Constitution.

8.Whether to lift the require¬ment of an MP to be a member of a political party.

9. Whether to prohibit parents and children of senators from becoming candidates to be MPs.

10. Whether to allow a spouse of a senator to be a candidate to be an MP.

11. Whether to lift the require¬ment for people who want to be MPs to declare their assets when they register as candidates.

12. Whether to require the state to clarify solutions or compensa¬tion for people who suffer from state agreements with foreign countries.
