Political Crossfire Forums

the Polish Sejm was around before the English Parliament. in 1182 the Sejm constrained the power of the Polish monarch. Magna Carta on the other hand was a later development, and was from 1215

AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

Says the guy that thinks the Westminster system is limited to Britain and it's former colonies, that military ROE prevents killing civilians in order to get at threats, that losing everything is equal to losing half of everything, that Brazil is more of a sovereign nation than the UK and that "best" equals "first."

Oh, and by the way, Sejm wasn't what I'd consider a true parliament until the 1400s. Included only high-ranking nobles prior to that. In contrast, it was 1265 when the first elections were held for British Parliament, and the franchise was extended to Knights, who were not necessarily nobles at birth, and were considered to be very low-ranking unless in possession of another title.

For people who really don't like monarchy, you are surprisingly willing to designate nobility-only councils as "parliaments."

Lol at the ROE point. Come now Saz. International Law should have covered that and now a half retarded anorexic Canadian pwned you bc you didn't pay attention as a 1L.

Also tbf suppressing a canadian rebellion would be hell. Anybody who has ever tried to stop a farm boy canook from driving to the net will tell you that.
