The Constitution and By-Laws serve as the backbone of the MSG, providing a solid foundation for our operations and decision-making processes. The Constitution lays out the fundamental principles, values, and structure that guide our organization. It establishes the overarching goals, powers, and responsibilities of our student government, outlining the framework within which we operate. By having a Constitution in place, we ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in our actions, fostering a sense of trust and legitimacy among the student body. It also helps us maintain consistency and continuity, as it provides a reference point for future leaders and members to uphold the principles and practices of our student government.

​

Complementing the Constitution, our By-Laws provide specific rules and regulations that govern the day-to-day operations of our student government. They outline the procedures for elections, meetings, decision-making, and various aspects of our organization's functioning. The By-Laws serve as a practical guide that ensures efficiency, clarity, and consistency in our processes. They help streamline our activities, ensuring that our actions align with our mission and objectives. By having well-defined By-Laws, we create a framework that promotes fairness, equal representation, and accountability within our student government. It also allows for flexibility, as the By-Laws can be updated and amended to address the evolving needs and aspirations of the student body.
