The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Because of Natalie's one foot, Cheerchen knowingly has nothing to do with Tibrest. After thanking King Jan Kazimierz again, he went out of the Kazimierz Palace with Natalie and Pidro.

In the carriage, Piedro sat alone, sulking. He felt that his trip was really in vain. After finally seeing the king, his nephew and nephew did not mention Brest.

Of course Cheerchen and Natalie saw Pidro's sulking look. Cheerchen smiled bitterly at Natalie. He hoped that Natalie could explain the reason to his uncle.

Natalie understood the meaning of Cheerchen's eyes, and she shouted to Pidro: "Uncle Pidro, please listen to me."

"Humph!"

Unexpectedly, Pedro proudly turned his head to the other side.

If this was the previous Natalie, she would have been angry with Pedro until dark. But since the loss of Cheorchen and then marrying Cheorchen, Natalie's temperament has been much softer-only for Cheorchen.

She sighed, and regardless of whether Pidro was listening or not, she explained to herself: "Your Majesty also has problems with His Majesty."

Unexpectedly, these words shocked Pidro. He thought it was King Jan Kazimierz who was going to regret it. Pidro jumped up from the carriage seat and hit his head on the ceiling.

"Ouch."

Pidro covered his head with his hands in pain. He opened his tearful eyes and asked Natalie: "The king is going to betray his faith?!"

"Of course not!" Natalie defended loudly.

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

But after saying this, Natalie instantly regretted it. Because she found that her tone was too intense.

"Uncle Pidro," Natalie helped Pidro to sit down, and then said softly, "Your Majesty's love for Cheechen has not changed. He just needs time."

After hearing this, not only Pedro, Chechen also felt much better in his heart, and felt that he had misunderstood King Jan Kazimierz again.

Although Cheerchen hadn't spoken a while ago, his heart was also dissatisfied. After all, even if it was Muhammad Glyy, although the Crimean Khan was sinister and cunning, he did not treat himself badly in awarding the reward. In order to win himself to work for him, he took out three sites at once. But because of Natalie's relationship, he can't say anything. 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 Pidro was grumbling, Cheerchen chose to watch silently.

At this time, I heard that it was not King Jan Kazimierz who wanted to go back. Cheerchen immediately asked: "Are there some members of the parliament who disagree?"

Natalie nodded.

"What's this."

Hearing that only a few congressmen disagreed, Pidro took the lead and breathed a sigh of relief. He said carelessly: "That's the king, the lord of the universe, if only he has a word, what is the use of the parliamentarians opposing it? Can the Polish parliament send the king to the guillotine?"

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

It turns out that the parliament of the Republic of Poland differs from parliaments in other countries in that it implements the "principle of unanimous consent", that is, a bill must be passed without the unanimous consent of all the members present. This is a regulation established to reflect the equal status of all nobles.

In the early days, this was a relatively democratic and healthy rule. Even if a small number of parliamentarians opposed it, they would be persuaded or withdrawn so that the law could still be passed. In the middle and early stages of the republic, the "unanimous consent principle" was often flexibly transformed by the clever king into a rule that the opponents could not pass the resolution, and other resolutions could be passed, so that Sejm could still operate relatively healthily and effectively.

The real change began in the reign of King Jan Kazimierz, and the instigator was the treason Prince Janusz Raziviu.

During the parliament from February to March 1652, the republic at that time was facing unprecedented military pressure, and King Jan Kazimierz was also carrying out reforms to expand the power of the monarchy. Many issues were controversial and could not be passed. .

The fierce debate lasted for 42 days, and the parliament became a battlefield for the two main factions of the kingly party and the aristocratic faction. The Raziwiew family of Lithuania has always insisted on Lithuania’s independence and opposed any reforms that strengthened the Polish monarchy. The great aristocrat of Lithuania, Janusz Laziviu, is the leader of the aristocratic faction.

Member of Parliament Władysław Sisinski of the Tarkai region is a member of the Janusz faction, and he naturally spared no effort to oppose the king's opinions and related resolutions.

On March 11, King Donjan Kazimierz proposed to extend the time of the parliament. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com This was a normal proposal, but at this moment, a loud thunder resounded throughout the hall.

"I don't agree to extend it!"

It was the Senator Władysław Sisinski who spoke. After speaking, Władysław Sisinski left the parliament on his own.

Suddenly, the entire assembly hall was silent. No one expected such a situation. When Władysław Sisinski walked out the door of the parliament hall, the MPs reacted. The nobles of the Janusz Razivi sect all stood up. With Władysław Sisinski taking the lead, they mistakenly thought it was the meaning of the prince, so they left the field one by one.

In this case, the day's meeting was forced to suspend.

Władysław Sisinski has since set a record-this is the first time in the history of the Republic of Poland that a person has exercised the "free veto".

Although the king and other parliamentarians later severely accused Władysław Sisinski, the latter achieved his goal because it was legal.

After that, it became commonplace to exercise the right of free veto to veto resolutions that one did not like. Even members of the King’s faction will exercise their free veto power to thwart them after their opponents put forward proposals that are unfavorable to them.

The greatest harm of the free veto is that it does not represent the principle of the minority obeying the majority, but the unanimous vote. A proposal, even if 99 people agree to it, but one person disagrees, then the proposal is invalid.

For example: Cheer Chen initiated a proposal in Parliament that Natalie is a beauty in the Republic of Poland. 99% of the parliamentarians said Natalie is a beauty, but 1% of blind people said Natalie is not beautiful. . Then the final conclusion of this motion is that Natalie is not beautiful.
