The political system of the Oan Isles takes place in the framework of a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy. The Constitution of the Oan Isles ('' Kaupapa Ture o nga Motuere Oa'') which was passed in 1907 under the reign of ''Rangitanga-a-te-Moana'' [[Mikaere III]], is the fundamental law of the country. It vests immense power in the Crown of the Oan Islew. The hereditary [[Emperor of Polynesia|''Rangitanga-a-te-Moana'']], who is the head of state and commander-in-chief of the armed forces, is constrained by democratic traditions in the exercise of his powers. Thus, he is a largely symbolic figure head with reserve powers in case of an emergency. The reigning ''Rangitanga-a-te-Moana'' is [[Oahoanu]] who succeeded his father, ''Rangitanga-a-te-Moana'' Ehe II, in 2017. All monarchs are direct descendants of Ahua the Great, who is credited as the founder of the Oan Isles and of the Mauist religion.
