Mindup constitutionality5/6/2023 ![]() Indeed, there are some interpretations that argue that it does not necessarily mandate the existence of the Virtue assemblies at all. The Imperial Constitution does not mandate the makeup of the Virtue Assemblies. Voting in the Synod will be performed by such assemblies as are rightfully able to weigh the virtue of an action or individual, in accord with their nationality and authority. The Synod will establish assemblies that each may know their virtue and select the most virtuous amongst them to lead. ![]() Those who stand in the Synod shall express the views of their congregation. Abraham followed their eyes, and soon they were all three of them staring at the Auditor of the Imperial Treasury, lost in an oblivious happy daze as he worked through the treasury figures from the previous summit. Leontes followed, and he began to grin in a slightly unwholesome way. The Chief Magistrate and the Imperial Archivist locked gazes for a few moments, then Karkovitch's eyes slid to the right. I agree that we want as little commentary as possible, so that's you out as well Leontes." "This is a wee bit delicate Abraham and I think we want as little commentary as possible," he said. "Do you want me to write the guidance up?" asked Abraham. There was a chorus of nods, "aye"s and "yes"es around the table. "We present our findings, and then the Senate and the Synod will decide what they want to do about them?" "So we're agreed then," said Karkovitch, taking charge of the discussion. The Imperial Archivist kept his face open and innocent. No point keeping a cock and crowing yourself."Ībraham frowned at his colleague, eyes narrowed suspiciously. Karkovitch shook his head, and Leontes laughed sending crumbs all over the table. "We should consider the virtuous implications though. ?" said Abraham, making it a question rather than a statement. Leontes said something indistinct through a mouthful of apple, pastry, berries, and custard. We haven't been asked to comment on the judgement, only on the practical implications." "To be honest I'm not sure why you're discussing the statement of principle at all. "There is always the veto," said Karkovitch slowly. He shrugged expressively, and went back to totting up the numbers he was working on. "Eleven hundred is higher than four hundred, and it's a lesser majority." said Gerard. Not everyone agrees that the orcs should be part of the Virtue assemblies. I just made it up, but what I mean is that there's no harm bearing in mind that this isn't uncontroversial. The Imperial Archivist snorted, and made a point of pouring dark yellow custard from the china jug onto his slice of hot fruit pie. There is no way that's a traditional Marcher proverb and even if it is, it's completely irrelevant to our current discussion!" "You have definitely just made that one up. There was silence for a moment, then Abraham exploded. Custard makes a pie better, as they say." Not saying we should take it into account. ![]() ![]() Eleven hundred in favour, four hundred against." ![]()
