2. Provincial Alignment with National Law: Provincial laws must conform to the Kanatawi constitution, ensuring consistency with the nation’s anti-discrimination measures, environmental protections, and human rights standards.

3. Cooperative Federalism: Kanatawi will operate under a cooperative federalism model, encouraging collaboration between the national government and provinces to address regional needs while upholding national standards of justice, equality, and environmental stewardship.
