The new constitution created a federal state with sixteen states.[1] The President and Vice-President would have four year terms and would be eligible for one re-election, whilst the Palau National Congress would be bicameral.[1] The constitution itself could only be amended by referendum and approval of at least 12 of the 16 states, and there would be a referendum at least every 15 years on whether the constitution should be revised or amended.[1]
