# Interim Cardano Constitution

{% hint style="danger" %}
**ARCHIVED**

This page has been archived. It's content might be outdated.
{% endhint %}

This interim constitution provides the basic rules needed to implement CIP-1694. It's temporary and will be replaced by a final constitution, which Ada holders will ratify in late 2024 or early 2025. The final version may be quite different, depending on what the Cardano community wants.

With these guardrails in place, the interim Constitutional Committee will focus on the technicality and base constitutionality of the very first community-submitted on-chain governance actions, upholding the interim constitution.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-knowledge-base/archive/cardano-governance-archive/cardano-constitution/read-the-cardano-constitution/previous-versions-of-the-cardano-constitution/interim-cardano-constitution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
