Discussion of Constitution of WMG
Version 1.0 | 30 October 2025
These notes discuss key principles behind the Constitution of the WMG, illustrated with diagrams.
On 28 October 2025—the 190th year since He Wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni / Declaration of Independence 1835—the WMG promulgated a Constitution for governance within their jurisdiction.
This addresses ongoing confusion over lawful governance in New Zealand. The Constitution serves two purposes:
- Moves debate beyond “Are we sovereign?” to “What do we do because we are?”
- Provides a framework for those who recognize sovereignty to act collectively—to do is to be.
Diagram 1: Awareness Spectrum
People fall along a spectrum of understanding He Wakaputanga as the foundation of lawful governance. Those on the left, remaining under Crown authority, face risks from Digital IDs and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
From left to right:
- Far-left: Sovereign Citizens
Advocate “common law,” recognize Crown but use legal arguments to force compliance. - Majority + Iwi Leaders / Te Pāti Māori MPs
Accept 1986 Constitution Act and Treaty-based legitimacy; seek independence to access Crown funds—“independent to be dependent.” - Freedom Movement
Protest via politics, minor parties, petitions (VFF, NZDSOS); divided and ruled. - He Wakaputanga Claimants (within Crown system)
Assert authority but mix Crown laws (e.g., Māori Land Act trusts) with Māori jurisdiction. - Aware but unenrolled / non-hapū
Seek rights under Te Wakaminenga but lack representation. - Hapū-aware, not WMG-enrolled
Know primacy but rely on Crown services; local/regional only. - WMG Enrolled Members
Now have constitutional framework + services (Tikanga Trade, NTM) to secure freedom when CBDCs restrict access.
Republican Governance Model
The people hold God-given rights—the Constitution defines, does not grant them—and enables mutual protection.
Diagram 2:
Three pillars—Judicial, Executive, Legislative—operate at local, regional, national levels, standing on He Wakaputanga, protected by National Congress and Constitution.
Chapter 2 Articles outline Rights and Freedoms (summarized).
Confederation Structure
Diagram 3:
Four geographic regions with autonomous Minenga—interconnected as needed.
- Taumata National Executive:
Leader + Deputy oversee Councils delivering state services.
Supported by office and Leader’s Advisory Group.
Integrates local → regional → national representation. - National Congress ensures compliance with He Wakaputanga Articles.
Activation Process
Outlines responsibilities at Federal and Regional/Local levels.
Four Stages of Development:
- Individual enrollment
- Hapu/group organization
- Regional integration
- National confederation
→ A system of the People, by the People, for the People.
