Articles of Colonization
The Articles of Colonization are the basic law of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica
The election at the end of season 2.5 was required under the Articles, because it was the end of term for President Adar.
The Articles also place the military under civilian control, and prevent civilians from interferring in military matters.
The Articles of Colonization were forged under the pressure from the Cylon Rebellion, when the Twelve Colonies of Kobol needed to band together instead of fight each other, because their own warmachines (Cylons) turned against their makers.
