Bill: Civil liberties
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperial Labour Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2401
Description[?]:
| The strength of our sacred empire cannot derive from the violence, from the intrusiveness, from the oppression. Our fathers' foresight founders and of the imperial caste stay in the safety and in the motivation of our people. Temperance, wisdom, knowledge they must be the lines it drives of a strong and resolved empire in peace and in war. To free the grapevine of the subjects means to have its control; to imprison its rights is a clear manifest of fear. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
