Look at the following text from the Federation's article:
In some non-canonical works like The Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual and the novel Articles of Federation, the document is called the Articles of Federation and has been used for decades in the fan community. However, in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "The Void", the text of the founding document is shown on screen (the preamble is a slightly reworded version of the UN Charter), and it is clearly called the "Charter of the United Federation of Planets", canonically establishing that as the name of the founding document. The term "Charter" is also used in Star Trek: Enterprise when the signing of the founding document is actually shown in "These Are the Voyages..." and in the DS9 episode "Accession" when discussing membership requirements for the Federation. In the episode Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Drumhead" Captain Picard refers to the founding document in passing as "the Constitution", establishing that it is also known by that name.
Shouldn't we change this to "Charter of the United Federation of Planets"? -- Gadren 01:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
