Nappa, if you were at a city hall meeting, and an issue was brought up, you said your bit, your requests were considered inadquetely argued, and the meeting moved on....... if you badgered on about it would get you would be thrown out and possibly locked up.
There is a reason for that, based on laws that have been refined over a very long time to balance people's right to be heard vs the right of other people not even get a chance to have their voices heard because of another's whining on and on.
The spirit of the rules to every forum is based on that balance.
Regarding this tired and truly 'of the undead' topic, (having been closed by a moderator, and reopened by an arguer), I really really hope we find where to stick this freak'n wooden stake soon and be done with it.
from the Constitition:
Quote:
2. Legislative
The Legislative branch shall be comprised of the rest of the political party which is in power at the time. These people have the power to propose treaties and draft laws which are acceptable under Constitutional standards. To do either of these things, a 2/3 majority vote must be reached in order for the law or treaty proposition can be officially enacted. The Legislative branch may be given additional rights if permitted by the senior official, and also retains the right to veto any action made by the Executive branch if a 3/4 majority vote is reached. However, because the Head of State is also the senior official of the party in power, this person is intrusted to know best the goals and ideology of the party, and is therefore entitled to overturn vetos and any official action made by the rest of the party.

This is the concept of a voting body making ruling decisions, period.
Now, from

Quote:
Republic
A republic is a form of government (and a state so governed) where a monarch is not the head of state. The word is derived from the Latin res publica, or "public affair", and suggests an ownership and control of the state by the population at large. The concept of democracy, however, is not implicit to that of a republic. The republican form of government may involve a limited democracy, where such rights are available only to a limited group of people, as is the case in many of today's dictatorial or totalitarian states. The term is also broad enough to include many of today's advanced democracies.

Do you see the relevancy this time Lance?
A limited group of people in the Zormite
Republic get to vote, just like they do in real world nations that are also
defined as.....
Republics.
It even stated the definition as being broad enough to include concepts so crazy as wacky totalitarian places like China could even
accurately be called a
Republic. Imagine that....wow, whooda thunk.
