021 Power Change
In a private villa in the city of Paris, dozens of National Self-Defense Forces officers and soldiers with tricolor flag armbands on their shoulders suddenly broke into.
Earl Charles and his family and servants were soon taken control, and the officer led by the officer spread a roll of paper on Earl Charles with the seal of the Constitutional Assembly.
"His Count Charles, now you are accused of 12 crimes including embezzlement of state public property, public rights and private use..., please come with us."
Earl Charles was pale, but he had already prepared himself. Before the declaration of human rights was promulgated, he knew that their royalist faction had been defeated...
The whole of Paris rejected them, especially those Parisians at the bottom, who even held all the difficulties of their lives on the royal party.
Of course, all of this is the result of the propaganda of the mastermind behind the scenes. Who says that the king’s reputation is too bad now?
The lower-class citizens do not understand politics. They only know that their lives have become unfilled. They appeared during the reign of King Louis XVI, which is enough!
There is no way to let your citizens have enough food. What is this kind of king who is not a fool?
Those who support the foolish emperor are naturally not good things!
The people’s ideas are so simple and boring!
As a hardcore royalist supporter, Count Charles, an Earl of Power, was arrested. With the promulgation of the Declaration of Human Rights, Count Charles' noble privileges had been deprived of, and at this time he could not escape legal sanctions.
"my family……"
"Sorry, Your Excellency Earl, your family is also involved in several charges, especially your wife."
The Li Wei's mother, who was incompatible with Earl Charles, collapsed on the chair with a pale face. It was obvious that Earl Charles' political enemies planned to catch them all in one go and not give them any chance.
As for the legitimate son of Li Wei who had already left the power center of Paris, there was no crisis. It was impossible for those in the Constitutional Assembly to not have the energy to arrest people in the distant Brittany area.
They just wanted to crack down on the traditional feudal nobles of the royal party, and to be more precise, they were the royal party forces that supported the Bourbon dynasty!
On this day, not only the Earl Charles family was arrested, but many royalist nobles who supported the Bourbon dynasty were arrested and imprisoned. The so-called crime was just an excuse. If it was investigated strictly, 99% of the entire French Kingdom who had served as officials would have to be imprisoned!
This is the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Many times, it is not that the superiors are blind and unable to see the corruption offenders, but that they cannot be removed. After all, such a big country needs to be managed. Without these officials, wouldn’t the superiors become the commander of the bare commander?
What's more, many corruption victims have indeed made political achievements, and the operation of the government will become inconvenient without them.
As for their corruption, most of the civilian classes below will become difficult, which has little to do with the superiors. As long as they do not arouse civil rebellion, the superiors will not care how many people will starve to death!
Moreover, the corruption and bribery of officials gives the superiors a handle. In the future, it will undoubtedly become simple. If you are disobedient or look at it, you will directly put the evidence of the crime on the surface and arrest it for trial. If you arrest one by one, no one will think of turning it over. By the way, you can also gain the support of the people and enhance your own people's expectations!
Why are anti-corruption and anti-corruption often carried out in many governments?
It is because this behavior is beneficial to the superiors but not harmful. The huge amount of money obtained during the anti-corruption and anti-corruption process can be put into your own pocket, or simply used to build a country. Anyway, it will not be returned to the victims below...
The most important thing is that not paying back the money is just catching a group of people and killing a group of people, and it can also gain the favor of most people. This deal is too cost-effective!
Even in later generations, I never seemed to have heard of any anti-corruption campaign, and the stolen money collected would be returned to the victims...
The political situation in Paris is changing. When the news reached the local area, the turmoil became even more intense, and the aristocratic class of the Kingdom of France ushered in the real doomsday!
The peasant riots that had originally appeared sporadically suddenly became the norm, because everyone knows that the aristocratic class is over!
At this time, the Vanne Municipal Government is holding a provincial committee meeting.
After the Paris Revolution, the political system began to change significantly from top to bottom. Every place learned the routine of the Constitutional Convention and opened its own parliament at all levels.
The levels here do not refer to social hierarchy, but regional administrative hierarchy. Even if it is a town, they have their own town committees.
The selection criteria for members of committees at all levels are directly linked to the amount of tax payments. That is to say, only those who have reached a certain level of tax payments are eligible to vote and run for local councillors!
Obviously, this is a bourgeois trick!
All fools know that bourgeois bosses are big taxpayers. Isn’t this way of determining voting and candidates based on the amount of tax payments just to open the door to wealthy bourgeoisie?
As for the one-person, one-vote system, this voice disappeared shortly after it appeared. The reason is very simple - money corrupts everything!
The real poor are voiceless in the government.
What's more, the various government expenses have a lot to do with tax revenue. Everyone likes or dares not offend those big taxpayers. This is the parents of food and clothing!
Therefore, relying on tax payments to determine the right to vote and vote of parliamentarians has now become the foundation of the rule of the Kingdom of France, and has even been written into the constitution!
This is also one of the reasons why the Declaration of Human Rights was promulgated and the traditional aristocratic forces and the church forces retreated in an all-out manner.
Because the aristocratic class rarely pays taxes or even is tax-free, the church's property does not have to be paid taxes, and even charges tithes to the church's people.
It is natural that traditional feudal aristocrats and churches have no advantage in voting and elections, and their opposition is too small, and they cannot stop the general trend of the Constitutional Assembly.
Now the Provincial Council of Vanne, the capital of Morbiang Province, is the nominal supreme authority of the entire province, holding judicial power and military and political power.
The legislative power is directly controlled by the Constitutional Assembly, which is also the only power that local governments cannot intervene. It ensures the unity of the country's legal system and establishes the unbreakable political status of the Paris capital.
Since ancient times, legislative power has been the highest right!
Of course, this refers to the absence of a civil war...
