According to the Constitution of Estonia (Estonian: Põhiseadus),[1] the supreme power of the state is vested in the people.
The people exercise their supreme power of the state on the elections of the Riigikogu through citizens who have the right to vote.
The Chief Justice is appointed by the parliament for nine years on nomination by the president.
If the candidate does not gain the number of votes required, the right to elect the president goes over to an electoral body, consisting of the 101 members of Riigikogu and representatives from local councils.
As other spheres, Estonian law-making has been successfully integrated with the Information Age.
