Gentlemen
I find the dispute serious, and I shall endeavour to look at it. As your Queen, and as a descendant of Ayreon, it is my duty uphold the values of Elwynn.
In the first chapter of the Constitution, it is written:
CHAPTER I
Establishment
1. The Elwynnese Nation establishes a free and sovereign body-politic under the name of Elwynn or the Elwynnese Union.
2. Each and every such man, woman or child sharing affinity or bonds of blood, friendship or law with the Elwynnese Nation, the Lands of the River Elwynn, or with the values of Elwynn, has the divine right of and claim to membership in the Elwynnese Nation in accordance with law.
The Union, being a body-politic or state, is established by the Elwynnese Nation (sec 1). The sovereignty of the Union emanates therefore from the Nation. It's not the other way around. Section 2 defines the Nation.
In tradition, the Nation is also seen as the Union of the Twelve Peoples of Elwynn.
The authorities in the County here refuse to recognise the personhood of Lady Yumi. This is in line with the law of Elwynn under the Coordinated State and the Democratic People's Republic which only gave natural personhood to human beings.
The current constitution, however, says in Ch 3,
11. The government of the Union is instituted for the advancement, protection and security of the people of the Union and not, under any circumstances, the particular advantage of any single individual, set of persons, family, or entity, whether within or without the Union.
12. No entity of the Union may favour or disfavour any individual, set of persons, family, entity or group of entities, because of their views, whether political, irreligious or religious, because of their sentient species, sex, nationality, colour, creed, ethnicity, cultural or social heritage or status, economical status, partner or partners in love (whether the love between hearts or the love between bodies), or because of any other reason that may be related to that which is listed here, for all, without exceptions, are equal before the law, are afforded the equal protection of the law, and enjoy the same obligations under the law.
It is clear that Lady Yumi is sentient, and therefore she possesses personhood by the Constitution.
I believe that the King's opposition should be upheld, and a re-count made.
A reading of the above sections, however, makes me doubt the legality of the Amokolian election as well.
The votes of a set of persons, all women and all belonging to a particular religious denomination, have there been given an overrepresented role in determining the delegates of Amokolia to the Royal Parliament. This seems to me to may be discriminatory towards men and persons not members of that sorority.
Or... maybe everyone could just ignore these mishaps so that we can just get an election, and the new Parliament can make proper election laws, maybe even call for a constitutional convention so that the proper constitutional way of governing may be clarified now that we're moving from absolute to constitutional monarchy?
