Chapter 31 The Duke is in the House of Commons
The Duke of Sorset followed Richard Strawer to the House of Commons Hall of the Palace of Westminster. Unlike the House of Lords, this place is full of monotony and green, and the rows of seats are arranged in a ss. All kinds of people sat on it, and people whispered, and the whole hall seed crowded. Seeing this, His Excellency the Duke couldn't help frowning, thinking back to the House of Lords!
The House of Lords not only has a hall for parliantary celebrations, a corridor of the palace for grand occasions, but also a room where the king wears a formal dress to attend grand ceremonies, and a waiting room where mbers exchange opinions and make so decisions. They are all beautifully decorated and unique. It fully embodies the elegance and nobility of the nobility.
It has always been believed that the word "Commons" in the English "House of Commons" of the House of Commons cos from the English word "commoners" (to understand the common people), reflecting that the mbers of the House of Commons are all of common people's origin, so as to distinguish the House of Lords (House of Lords), which is controlled by the nobles. However, there is no historical support behind this explanation. In fact, the word "Commons" cos from the Norman French "communes", which ans the community represented by the mbers of parliant, and has a geographical aning.
The Duke of Sorset walked to the speaking position under the leadership of gentleman Richard, and then saw a scepter placed in the hall. This is the tradition of the House of Representatives. Whether it is in the House of Lords or the House of Commons, a scepter must be put on during the eting. This is to demonstrate the importance of royal power and warn the mbers of the debate not to do anything out of line .
"n and Gentlen, Be Quiet!" Richard Straul stood on the rostrum, stomped his cane, and made a thumping sound. Suddenly, the entire hall fell silent. Looking at the two people on the podium.
"Today, His Excellency the Duke of Sorset ca to the House of Commons to explain his bill to us!" Richard said in a hoarse voice, looking extraordinarily imposing in the large hall.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!..." Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. I don't know whether it was to welco the Duke or to respond to Mr. Richard's speech.
Imdiately, Gentleman Richard left the podium with clumsy steps, leaving the Duke alone on the stage.
Edward Seymour looked at hundreds of people in the audience. Among them were the earthy Yomannon, the shrewd rchants with philistine faces, the handicraftsn who patched clothes, and the local gentlen and rude knights. them.
Actually, the duke doesn’t want to communicate with these lowly common people. It’s just a tradition passed down from Henry VII’s ti. Legislative power must be exercised through parliant in order to truly establish legal provisions that are common throughout the country.
"Dear mbers of Parliant..." His Excellency held his temper, slightly revised the content of the speech in the House of Lords, and delivered the speech to the mbers of the House of Commons.
After the speech, there was a burst of applause as usual. After a while, His Excellency the Duke heard the noisy discussions below, like a vegetable market.
"Common people are common people. They don't have the quality and self-cultivation that nobles should have. It's really a sha to be with them!" Sir Edward Seymour couldn't help but despise the many councilors in the audience, but the smile on his face remained, and he looked as good as ever. Elegant and calm.
After finishing his speech, His Excellency the Duke turned around and left the hall of the House of Commons, heading for the House of Lords.
Sure enough, His Excellency the Duke had just arrived at the House of Lords. The Speaker of the House of Lords, Baron Brad Adam, followed Duke Seymour and took out a docunt in his hand.
"Dear Your Excellency the Duke! The results of our discussion in the House of Lords have co out!" The baron had a serious face, especially wearing a pair of black-rimd glasses, which added a bit of majesty.
"Oh! Really? I don't know what the result will be?" The Duke of Sorset looked nervous, showing that he was very concerned about the result.
Actually, Edward Seymour already had a guess in his mind as a result of the discussions of the nobles in the House of Lords.
You must know that the sixteen most powerful nobles and priests in England have already agreed. Among them are not only the leaders of the secular nobles except the king, but also the highest bishops in the entire Church of England. Therefore, His Excellency the Duke believes that there is no suspense in the matter, and it will definitely pass.
Sure enough, Baron Brad Adam did not disappoint him, and showed him the unanimous results of the discussion between the nobles and senior priests of the House of Lords.
"After enthusiastic discussions among mbers of Parliant, with 189 votes in favor, 35 against, and 7 abstentions, we unanimously passed your reform bill, Your Excellency the Duke! You can enact it and implent it! "The baron read the docunt solemnly, without any pause or delay. Edward Seymour's relatively old voice was so pleasant to hear!
Even though he already had the answer in his heart, the Duke still felt a surge of excitent in his heart, and a gentlemanly smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Baron Adam!" "You are welco, we are also for England!"
"Yes! We are for England!" His Excellency the Duke and Baron Adam smiled knowingly, and the atmosphere seed so harmonious.
The two walked happily to the inner room of the House of Lords. This is the resting place for the nobles and the king, and the decoration looks very luxurious.
During the Tudor dynasty, the House of Lords was significantly stronger than the House of Commons.
In the later period of Henry VIII, among the proposals of the House of Representatives, the House of Lords moved 183 bills, while the House of Commons only moved 127, crushing the House of Commons in number.
And since most of the mbers of the House of Lords are local high-ranking people, for example, the Bishop of Buckinghamshire is a mber of the House of Lords, so he has great influence on the low-level priests in Buckinghamshire, while the Earl in Manchester is Can influence the decisions of knights and gentlen in Manchester.
The House of Commons at that ti had these people as the main components. What? What about the bourgeoisie? They had almost no say in the House of Commons at that ti, even the blacksmiths who forged iron had more say than them.
So, during the Tudor dynasty, as long as the House of Lords moved and passed the proposal, the House of Commons would pass it in all likelihood.
The Duke of Sorset and Baron Adam are leisurely enjoying the tea from the Far East Empire, talking about life and ideals from ti to ti! And our Majesty Edward VI is drinking tea and discussing ideals.
But he is not an elegant and aristocratic baron with him, but a rude knight with muscles all over his body and a beard on his face!
Of course, before that, we need to solve the problem of Princess Elizabeth!
