===Preamble===
<blockquote>Preamble
The successive proclamations of the Sovereign State of the Holy Cross, the Martletan Republic, the Socialist Republic of the Martlets Islands and the People’s Republic of the Andorignas represents some of the apex moments in the History of the AndorinhenseAndorinhean Nation. A feature of our identity and revitalization of our condition as a People sharing the steadfast hope of crafting on these isles the conditions for a dignifying existence for all, Independence also gave way to the Andorinhões becoming a full-fledged member of the international community.
Nevertheless, the affirmation of the independent State and the forming of a pluralist democratic regime were never coincidental, as prior to the organization of political power, the philosophy and principles characteristic of one-party-rule regimes had always been followed.
