Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 311: Constitutional



"Finally finished!"

"This is the first step, and it must pass in the state parliament before it can take effect with the approval of His Majesty!"

"Isn't it just revisions, what are you afraid of?"

...

That's right, here is the Constitutional Committee of the New Holy Roman Empire. All the people present were the government sent by the governments of the states.

The Constitutional Committee was established as early as 1854, because the parties were too divided, and the friction has dragged on to the present.

Now that the draft constitution has finally come out, before that, the new Holy Roman Empire used a unified agreement signed by the states.

The draft constitution soon appeared in Franz's desk.

Looking at it from the beginning to the end, Franz frowned slightly. This constitution is actually the result of compromise between the parties. The greatest advantage is probably the protection of imperial power.

This is an inevitable result. The members of the Constituent Committee are all royalists, with the exception of free cities, all states have kings.

The **** determines the head. If the emperor's rights are restricted, can the king's rights be guaranteed?

From a rights perspective, the kings of the states are Franz's best allies. Both the imperial power and the imperial power stood on the same front, and both sides suffered losses.

Other terms are similar to the actual situation of the new Holy Roman Empire now.

It is almost a replica of the German Empire. The governments of the states have a high degree of autonomy. There are basically no restrictions except for the prohibition of division, the unification of the currency, and the consistency with the central government.

The command of the army belongs to the emperor and king. According to the Constitution: Franz and the king of the state have the right to command the army of the state, but the central government does not have this right.

The army was divided into the Central Army and the State Army. The Central Army is under the direct control of the emperor, and the governments of the states share the military expenses; while the troops of the states are directly under the king, and the states themselves bear the military expenses.

In theory, as long as the state government has the money, it is legal to have a million troops, and the central government has no right to interfere, but the emperor has command.

The new version of the Constitution directly cut the army and government, and the state-owned army became the private army of the emperor and king.

The same is true in taxation. The people pay taxes to the king and emperor, and the central government and state governments only manage it for them.

This is somewhat similar to the British, but the emperor is greater in power.

High-level officials of the central government are appointed by the emperor. All high-level officials must have local or departmental appointment experience and have achieved certain political achievements.

The possibility of ascending to the sky was cut off directly from the source, or that the prime minister must rise from the state department.

It is worth mentioning that the election of members of parliament has been opened, but it is a high standard version.

Franz estimates that by this standard, no more than one percent are eligible to vote, and fewer are eligible to run.

Following the British, Parliament was divided into upper and lower houses. The upper house was composed of aristocracy and the lower house was elected by the people.

Eligibility for voting rights must meet the following conditions: possess the new Holy Roman Empire citizenship, and live in the empire for a long time, or be a colony, over 30 years old, have a junior high school education, have more than 10 years of social work experience, and be in the industry It has made certain achievements, no criminal record, and correct political thinking ...

Candidate qualifications are more stringent. After meeting the above qualifications, there will be an assessment of social contribution, an assessment of personal comprehensive ability, and an assessment of political ideology and morals ...

Do not doubt, according to this standard, it is estimated that the future Congress of the new Holy Roman Empire will be harmonious.

Those who are able to get out of the siege are basically old men, and they are powerless whether they scold or fight. contemporary romance

There is no doubt that this election model is a heavy blow for political parties. It ’s useless to be good at speaking, even if it ’s blown up, you do n’t even have the right to vote, and you do n’t even have the right to vote.

Voters have a certain level of knowledge and are elites in the industry. They have already passed the secondary stage. These people have little desire to change the status quo of the society.

Even if all these conditions are met, it is only a Member. Elections are not a shortcut if you want to become a Prime Minister from a parliament or climb up from the grassroots.

These restrictions were not set by Franz, but he hinted at the most that the latter were conspired by the Constitutional Committee.

It is normal to think about it. The current constitutional committees are all vested interests and naturally they must safeguard their own interests.

Don't assume that people of ordinary origin will expand the right to vote. The end result is often just the opposite, these people are the most opposed to expanding the right to vote.

The human mind is complicated. Before gaining privileges, counter-privileges; after gaining privileges, the **** determines the head and maintains privileges.

As elites in the society, they naturally do not want more people to come in to share this right, and eventually they become elite politics.

Elite politics is good, and Franz can't answer this question. But as emperor, it was in his interest.

A group of rational and conservative social elites entering the circle of rights is more conducive to the development of the country than a group of Chinese middle and second-guessing parties.

After seeing the political contribution, Franz did not hesitate to hit a fork, and made a note: Any political contribution behavior is regarded as a bribe and strictly investigated and handled in accordance with relevant regulations.

After thinking about it for a while, he added one: prohibit the media, companies, and individuals from making related political propaganda, and offenders will be punished as crimes of manipulation of political elections.

As for the question of how to vote for voters, it is not about Franz. I want to list my resume, probably, barely!

Everyone is the same anyway, no one is taking advantage of fairness and justice.

It's better than let the power of capital get involved, and Congress becomes a slave to capitalists' money.

Since it is constitutional, there are naturally provisions restricting the emperor's rights. For example, it is necessary to abide by the Constitution and clearly stipulate the proportion of royal family pensions.

That's about it. Don't expect a group of constitutional committees appointed by the emperor and the king to really formulate a constitution that limits royal power.

These terms are tacitly acknowledged by Franz. At the very least, the rights of the cabinet have been strengthened, but the foundation of the cabinet's power comes from the emperor, which is nothing more than a backseat.

It is worth mentioning that Franz's succession law has been changed. If the first heir can not bear the emperor's responsibility because of personal physical and mental reasons, the throne is directly inherited by the second heir.

There is no way. After experiencing the reign of Ferdinand I, after almost rolling over, the Habsburg royal family was frightened, for fear of coming again. After all, not every time will be so good luck, you can save yourself.

Had it not been for the loyal ministers of the Habsburgs, Austria would have become a constitutional monarchy during the Ferdinand era, and it was not up to Franz to formulate the constitution himself.

After checking it several times, it was found that nothing was wrong, and Franz passed on his opinion. At that time, naturally someone will find a reason to carry out his will.

This is the draft, and it's still a long time after that. The central and state governments also have to play political games to fight for their respective rights.

The constitution, plainly speaking, is just a large framework. When it comes to specific provisions, it depends on the results of political games among all parties.
