 No act shall be enacted as a law which retroactively inflicts a criminal punishment upon a person.

A bill which the National Assembly has finished drawing up shall be brought and presented to [the Monarch] by the Prime Minister in order that the Monarch would sign it, and once it has been published in the Royal Gazette, it shall become applicable as a law.

If the Monarch disapproves such a bill and gives it back to the National Assembly within one month counted from the day it was brought and present to Him by the Prime Minister or He fails to give it back to the National Assembly within such one month, the National Assembly must discuss it anew. If the National Assembly resolves to reaffirm it, the Prime Minister shall bring and present it to [the Monarch] once again. When the Monarch fails to sign it and give it back within fifteen days, the bill shall be published in the Royal Gazette by the Prime Minister and become applicable as a law.
