  Article 04- Structure of Charter  
4.1 Structure of Charter  
  The Charter of the Americas Union conforms to the requirements of a sacred Deed in accordance with the one true and only Canon Law known as Astrum Iuris Divini Canonum, namely: 1. Exordium (Preamble); 2. Recitatum (Recitals); 3. Decretum (Agreement); and 4. Obsignatum (Enaction).  
  The Charter is also structured into building blocks of clauses, which in turn form Articles which then form Chapters.  
  The Charter is made up of one hundred and eight one (181) Articles, which are then assembled into fourteen (14) Chapters.
 
  These Chapters are:  
  I. Recitatum (Recitals)
II. Universal Principles
III. Members
IV. Globe Objects
V. Union Objects
VI. University Objects
VII. Province Objects
VIII. Campus Objects
IX. Systems
X. Elections
XI. Finance and Reporting Standards
XII. Trade and Industry Standards
XIII. Policies
XIV. Procedures
 
  Subject to any future valid amendments, this shall remain the core structure of the Charter.  
4.2 In effect of stylized format on meaning of Charter
 
  The stylized features used in this Charter are for cosmetic improvement of understanding only. These features shall have no impact on the clauses or articles of the Charter.
 
  When considering the legal application of the Charter, it may be read as one single set of Articles without consideration to section headings, stylized font or page layout.
