Bill: Golden Liberty
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Calvinist Unionist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 2126
Description[?]:
| Excerpt from Rzeczpospolita Article: "Golden Liberty refers to a unique democratic political system in the Kingdom of Tinako and later in the Tinakan-Utagian Commonwealth. Under that system, all nobles (szlachta) were equal and enjoyed extensive rights and privileges. The szlachta controled the legislature (Sejm the Tinakan parliament) and the Commonwealth's elected king" If this passes, we would like it if each party either named itself after a Royal House (I.E. House Windsor) or alligns itself with a Royal House(you can put that in your Party Description) |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Luthori, you brighten up our lives, Luthori, we pledge our love to you, Till the end of time, we'll protect you from the evils of this world. Luthori, you're a jewel in this world, Luthori, you are a light in the dark, To the end of life, we would stand on guard for your people and for you. Though storms may come, and the skies may fall, our love for you is more than true, Though the ground may shake, and the world may end, we will be with you till the end. Luthori, you're like the moon in the sky, Luthori, you are much greater than life, We may die, but you will live on in this imperfect world of ours, forever. Luthori, you brighten up our lives, Luthori, we pledge our love to you, Till the end of time, we'll protect you from the evils of this world.

| 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT1HEXNI9c4> And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Luthori's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On Luthori's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Yishelem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Yishelem In Luthori's green and pleasant land. |
Proposed:
| Luthori has not yet perished so long as we shall live. What foreign aggression has seized, we'll take back with the sword. March, march, Poniatowski, from Geharon to Luthori, We shall follow you and Return to our people. We'll cross the desert, we'll cross the mountains, We shall ever be Luthorians, Kariparta has shown us the way How to prevail. March, march, Poniatowski... As Wybicki crossed the desert And returned to Randamar After the Agathi invasion To redeem the country. March, march, Poniatowski... A father says to his Basia, As he spares not a tear: "Listen, now, can you hear our men Beating the kettle-drums?" March, march, Poniatowski... |

| Message | What about only landowners having the vote? |
| Date | 02:01:30, October 12, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | I'm not sure how to go about that. I COULD make it so that only land-owners are citizens, but that might not generate support that I need. Unless I hear that the Leftist parties(at least one) will vote 'yea' for just land-owners, this bill prolly be sitting here until after the next election. |
| Date | 07:19:01, October 12, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | The CHEAT would allow the election of the Monarch to be restricted to landowners and nobles, but would require that the election of the government, and its head official, to be open to all citizens. In addition, the government would continue to be control the majority of the power, with the Monarch having some constitutional rights and responsibilities. This would be, for us, a reasonable compromise. For the record, if all this happens, I will be alligning myself with a Royal House, I like my current name too much. |
| Date | 09:15:51, October 12, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | The CHEAT proposal is acceptable to the DUP but is not currently possible as a game feature. This bill as it stands would create a republic with politicians serving as 'President' for 3 three years terms and that is completely unacceptable to us! |

| Message | Not acceptable. Try something less barmy. |

| Message | Votes only for the landed gentry! Debar the uneducated from politics! Non-Christians should be debarred from holding land or titles. You know it makes sense! |

| Message | UCP should be barred from holding land or titles. You know it makes sense! |
| Date | 10:48:14, October 13, 2005 CET | From | United Conservative Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | You can't be serious? Debarring a man of God! It is because I have titles and land that makes you so envious. I'll pray for your lost soul. |

| Date | 14:18:41, October 13, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | Here's an idea: take the new anthem from the other bill and put it in here instead of this republican treachery, and it might just pass. |
| Date | 19:58:34, October 13, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | It's not treachery; If you haven't noticed, I'm waiting until next election to add(or not add) the land-owners bit. That way, I will have a better idea on how to progress. |
| Date | 20:32:01, October 13, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | Before the left-wing parties go after my head for adding the citizenship thing; I am trying to restore democracy to Luthori. Although I have the largest party, I cannot suddenly convert us to t3h uber democracy. It is a transition. The only way this will pass is if I add landowners, and at least then we will have some democracy when it comes to our leaders. |
| Date | 22:24:30, October 13, 2005 CET | From | Seosavists Republican party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | I'll only vote yes if you need my vote. |
| Date | 23:41:37, October 13, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | This will still result in the crown falling to a politian and changing hands every 3 years, hardly a stable monarch. What if the republicans entered a civilian as a candidate, and won? |
| Date | 00:44:30, October 14, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | I change the amount of time the monarch serves. Also, although rare, civilians have become kings many times before, and in a large amount of cases are superb kings. Do not count them out because they lack noble birth. |
| Date | 01:00:47, October 14, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | Article III still concerns us. Once in place it could be the basis for a tacky republic, as you suggested to the lefties yourself. |
| Date | 02:23:01, October 14, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | A republic of the landowners? =P If anything, it'll be an oligarchy. |
| Date | 06:12:35, October 14, 2005 CET | From | Luthori Green Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | I'll vote for this, both due to the idea of elective constitutional monarchy tied with democracy where everyone can vote, and since the conservative parties seem ready to burn down the commonwealth parliament over this. Might make them realise why we need a nationalised firefighting service. =D |
| Date | 22:44:33, October 14, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | Ok then. TO THE POLLS! Also, DUP, my last bill didn't have the election thing. But you voted against it anyhoo. Why, pray tell, did you do that? It was nothing but changing alot of names. By turning on your word, you lost some trust with me. Not all of it, as the cabinet proposal shows, but a fair amount. |
| Date | 22:59:27, October 14, 2005 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | I never voted against it. I bet abstaining cost us seats. |
| Date | 00:00:10, October 15, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Golden Liberty |
| Message | True. But voting FOR it would not have. |
