The Sage of Einar

Chapter 293 - One Constitution To Rule Them All

Einar, who was working on the constitution, set out to create the last paragraphs that will comprise it.

In the last paragraph, equality was demarcated before all citizens, including the imperial family.

They are all equal before the law, so if a member of the imperial family commits a crime, they must be tried in a court of the imperial family.

Where a conviction will be guaranteed based on the charge committed, also to avoid abuses, the court of the imperial family will be selected under the ruling of democracy.

To a judge of the civil sphere to supervise the competent execution of the laws, because not because they were members of the imperial family, they should be above the law.

Since as a ruling family they must always maintain a competent attitude in all areas for what if they steal or abuse their power, they will be judged.

Of course, although Einar guaranteed that his family could be tried, he also created a mechanism to prevent a coup or change of government.

They could decree the imperial family as illegal, because as a ruling family and patriotic symbol, they were the symbols of the homeland.

After working hours, he just finished writing and proudly looked at the constitution as he prepared to review the contents.

'Article 1: Every Nordic citizen will have the protection of this constitution, so it cannot be suspended or inhibited, unless the citizen has committed a violation of the constitutional laws.

In that case, the citizen will have to receive the inhibition of his rights by a judge.

Article 15: Citizens can request permission to go to overseas provinces but because of the security of the nation.

Article 16: The Nordic constitutional empire is made up of provinces that have the same rights and obligations.

Such as rape, robbery, murder or treason.

Article 20: All citizens will enjoy the principle of private property. No one can take away private property unless it is the order of a judge and has a valid reason. '

Einar, who had read the first articles of the constitution stretched his hands and looked proudly at the book that was over 500 pages long.

"This constitution will be the future pillar of the nation, although it may have errors I believe that motivating children to study law should create the first lawyers and judges.

If there is anyone who can find errors, it will be them. I have many years to make revisions to the constitution.

At the moment I will only publish it for study in school by the children, I want them to learn law now that they are children.

I am sure that in the future I will not lack judges and lawyers. I think it would be a good option ... "

Einar interrupted his little monologue when he turned his head and he could see Laisa standing in the doorway, laughing.

"I came in a few minutes ago, but I didn't mean to bother you. But I have to admit you sounded like one of those generic villains.

From the stories you tell us at night. "

Einar scratched his head and smirked casually. "I was too excited that I ended up thinking out loud, but what do you think about what I said about the lawyers and judges."

Laisa walked to Einar and sat on his lap "I don't understand very well about lawyers, but I do know that judges should be people who are in charge of practicing the law.

I think in some of your stories you told us about that, but I really don't remember very well.

The only thing I do know is that many children will look at you with some hatred because you are going to make them read that great book you wrote. "

Einar looked at his wife with a smile and couldn't contain his laughter "Hahaha, many people are going to hate me in the present and the future.

Especially engineering students and chemists, but also many people will thank me for the things that I am doing.

Especially every boy and girl born in the Nordic nation, since all of them will have their rights guaranteed from birth.

Nobody at this age will have as many rights as they. It will only be enough that they see the kingdoms of the European continent to see the cruelty of the nobility and the church.

Having to pay taxes to a noble is already painful, but having to tithe to the church, because it does the institution of God, requires it.

It is outrageous and that only for free people, in the case of serfs they are only slaves who live in poverty.

Believe me, that if I really wanted to, I could bring a genuine change to this era but open the Pandora's box of the ideologies of the 20th century.

It is something that I am not willing to do, because once I show them, no one will stop them because you can kill the man, but not the idea. "
