The All-Party Constitutional Defense Committee (APCDC) is a legislative body established in Nouvelle Alexandrie in the aftermath of the Spring Crisis of 1739 to foster cross-party cooperation on matters of national security, constitutional governance, and civil-military relations. Formed as part of the reforms introduced by the Military Reform Act, 1739, the APCDC serves as a permanent platform for dialogue among political parties represented in the Cortes Federales of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Its primary aim is to uphold the Federation's constitutional order, promote democratic values, and prevent future crises that could undermine national stability.

The APCDC is composed of representatives from all major political parties, ensuring diverse ideological perspectives and bipartisan consensus on critical issues. It operates as an advisory and coordinating body, working closely with the Council of State, the Department of Defense (Nouvelle Alexandrie), and other federal agencies. Since its inception, the committee has been instrumental in shaping key policies related to defense, emergency preparedness, and civil-military relations.

History

The APCDC was created in the wake of the Spring Crisis of 1739, a failed coup d'état attempt that exposed significant vulnerabilities in Nouvelle Alexandrie’s civil-military relations and constitutional protections. The crisis underscored the need for a unified political approach to address national security and safeguard democratic institutions.

The APCDC was officially established under the Military Reform Act, 1739, which mandated its formation as a permanent committee within the Cortes Federales. Its first meeting took place in late 1739 AN, bringing together senior lawmakers from all major political parties.

Major Initiatives

Since its inception, the APCDC has spearheaded several initiatives, including:

• Operation Clean Hands: Collaborating with the Department of Defense (Nouvelle Alexandrie) to implement military reforms focused on accountability and ethics.
• National Emergency Framework: Developing guidelines for coordinated responses to natural disasters and national emergencies.
• Civil-Military Relations Code: Drafting a code of conduct to strengthen the separation of military and civilian governance.
