The Articles of Colonization are the Basic Law of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol , in the Reimagined Battlestar Galactica . The Colonial Day celebration of season 1 represented the 52nd anniversary of the signing of the Articles. The election at the end of season 2.5 was required under the Articles, because it was the end of term for President Richard Adar . The Articles also place the Military under civilian control, but prevent civilians from interfering in military matters. The Articles of Colonization were forged under the pressure from the Cylon Rebellion , when the Twelve Colonies of Kobol needed to band together instead of fight each other, because the Cylons turned against their makers. The name is a reference to the " (i.e. representative democracy), as evidenced by Sagittaron's dictatorial regime, and in that the constituent colonies retain a great deal of power. After the fall of the colonies the articles remain in effect. However both Adama and Roslin find themselves forced to subvert the articles on occasion. Anyone accused of being a cylon is denied these rights as a matter of course (as seen when Tyrol was accused in early season 2). SEE ALSO REFERENCES Battlestar Wiki: Articles of Colonization |
