RZ5 - The Advisory King Amendment

WHEREAS Every citizen has their own concept of the perfect role of the King in Talossa today, and

WHEREAS I realized that my own such concept was founded on a highly romanticized version of the King, in which he was omnibenevolent and respected the will of the people except in the direst circumstances, and

WHEREAS Even if this were currently the case, it would be no reason to believe that the Crown would always behave this way, and

WHEREAS I have just recently grasped the full consequences of an unelected head of state possessing such broad powers, and

WHEREAS Despite this, misdeeds by one King is no reason to abolish the office entirely, and

WHEREAS in a country as small as Talossa, retaining the same, heavily involved head of state is good for stability, even if the King is not as involved as we would like, and

WHEREAS The Crown has, does, and will likely continue to provide valuable advice concerning matters of governance, so he should retain at least some amount of political power, and

WHEREAS This is the heart of the matter: while an unelected official can offer new perspectives and encourage legislators to stop and think, someone without a democratic mandate should not have final say on anything, nor even be able to indefinitely put roadblocks in the path of the duly elected Ziu, and

WHEREAS for all these reasons, applying the concepts of the ¾ Majority Amendment to regular legislation seems like a pretty good idea
