The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Chapter 623



Due to Natalie\'s glance, Chechen knowingly didn\'t mention Brest again. After thanking King King Jan Kazimierz, he went out of Kazimierz palace with Natalie and Pedro.

In the carriage, Pedro sat alone, sulking. He felt that he had come in vain. It was not easy to see the king, but his nephew and niece did not mention Brest.

Pedro\'s sulky appearance was certainly seen by Chechen and Natalie. Chechen smiled bitterly at Natalie. He hoped Natalie could explain the reason to her uncle.

Natalie understood the meaning of Chechen\'s eyes. She shouted to Pedro, "Uncle Pedro, please listen to me."

"Hum!"

Who knows, Pedro proudly turned his head to the other side.

If Natalie had been before, she would have been angry with Pedro until dark. But from losing Chechen to marrying Chechen, Natalie\'s temperament is much softer - just for Chechen.

She sighed, and regardless of whether Pedro was listening or not, she explained to herself, "Your Majesty also has his Majesty\'s difficulties."

Unexpectedly, this frightened Pedro. He thought it was king Jan kazimiz who was going back. The fiery Pedro jumped up from the carriage seat and hit his head against the ceiling.

"Ouch."

Pedro covered his head with his hands in pain. He opened his tearful eyes and asked Natalie, "is the king going to betray his faith?"

"Of course not!" Natalie exclaimed.

She does not allow anyone to question the king and queen.

But after saying this, Natalie regretted it again in an instant. Because she found her tone of voice too intense.

"Uncle Pedro," Natalie helped Pedro sit down and said softly, "Your Majesty\'s love for Chechen has never changed. He just needs time."

After hearing this, not only Pedro, but also Chechen felt a lot in his heart. He felt that he had misunderstood King Jan kachmidge.

Although Che Chen didn\'t speak just now, his heart was also dissatisfied. After all, even Muhammad gley, although the Crimean Khan was insidious and cunning, he did not treat himself badly in the reward. In order to win over himself to work for him, he took out three sites at a time. But it was hard for him to say anything because of Natalie. After all, the king and queen tried their best to match themselves with Natalie, and Natalie was extremely loyal to the king and queen. So when Pedro complained, Cherchen chose to watch without saying a word.

At this time, when he heard that King Jan kachmidge was not going to repent, Chechen immediately asked, "do some members of Parliament disagree?"

Natalie nodded.

"What\'s the point?"

It was said that only a few members of Parliament disagreed, and Pedro took the lead in breathing a sigh of relief. He said carelessly, "that\'s the king, the Supreme Master. As long as he says a word, what\'s the use of members\' opposition? Can the Polish parliament send the king to the guillotine?"

Who knows, after hearing this, Natalie sighed greatly: "in our country, the opposition of parliamentarians may not be able to send the king to the guillotine, but it can decide all his proposals."

Originally, the difference between the parliament of the Republic of Poland and the parliaments of other countries is that it implements the "principle of unanimous consent", that is, a bill can be passed only with the unanimous consent of all members present. This is a provision established to reflect the equal status of all nobles.

In the early days, this was a relatively democratic and healthy provision. Even if a small number of parliamentarians opposed it, they would be persuaded or retreat, so that the law could still be passed. In the middle and early stage of the Republic, the "principle of consensus" was often flexibly transformed by the smart king into a rule that the resolutions opposed by the opponents could not be passed and other resolutions could be passed, so thum could still operate relatively healthy and effective.

The real change began during the reign of King Jan kazimiz, and the initiator was Prince yanush raziweu, who died of treason.

During the parliamentary period from February to March 1652, the Republic was facing unprecedented military pressure, and King Jan kazimiz was also carrying out the reform of expanding the sovereign power. Many topics were controversial and could not be passed.

The heated debate lasted 42 days, and the parliament became a battlefield for the two major factions, mainly the pro King party and the aristocracy. The latchiviu family in Lithuania has always adhered to Lithuania\'s independence and opposed any reform to strengthen Polish kingship. The great nobleman of Lithuania, janush raziweu, is the leader of the aristocracy.

Vadeswaf sisinski, a member of Parliament in tarkai, is a member of the yanushi faction. Naturally, he spared no effort to oppose the king\'s opinions and relevant resolutions.

On 11 March, when King Jan kazimiz proposed an extension of Parliament. This was a very normal proposal, but just then, a loud explosion resounded through the whole hall.

"I don\'t agree with the extension!"

It was the congressman wadiswaf sisinsky who spoke. With these words, wadiswaf sisinski left the parliament on his own.

Suddenly, the whole Parliament hall was silent. No one expected this to happen. When wadiswaf sisinsky walked out of the door of the parliament hall, the members reacted. The nobles of the yanush raziwiu sect stood up. Wadiswaf sisinsky took the lead. They mistakenly thought that this was the meaning of the great prince, so they left one after another.

In this case, the meeting on that day was forced to be suspended.

Since then, wadiswaf sisinski has set a record - this is the first time in the history of the Republic of Poland that someone has exercised the "free veto".

Although the king and other members of Parliament later severely criticized wadiswaf sisinsky, the latter achieved his goal because it was legal.

After that, it became commonplace to exercise the right of free veto to veto resolutions they did not like. Even members of Parliament of the king\'s faction, after opponents put forward proposals against themselves, will exercise their free veto to block them.

The greatest harm of the free veto is that it does not represent the principle that the minority obeys the majority, but is passed by a unanimous vote. Even if 99 people agree to a proposal and one person disagrees, the proposal is invalid.

For example, Chechen initiated a proposal in parliament that Natalie is a beautiful woman in the Republic of Poland. 99% of the members attending the meeting said Natalie is a beautiful woman, but so 1% of the blind said Natalie is not beautiful. Then the final conclusion of this bill is that Natalie is not beautiful.
