Well I don't see why this is an issue now when before hand it everyone seemed to agree it was 9 seats. I was the one saying 7, but everyone argued it was 9, and now everyone flip-flopped on the matter.
Personally I think the law stands and we would have 9 seats. If you wana argue that the law is invalid, and should have been an amendment instead, I see your point, but that kind of call should have been made when the law was passed and when we had the census and all agreed that with the new law it made it 9.
Constitutuion says "There shall be 1 seat in the assembly for every 3 world assembly nations residing in New York", law says Colonies have the same rights as NY natives and their WA count towards the census.
In my mind I would interpret "New York", not as the region of New York, but "New York" as in the government of New York which includes the colonies (as the law suggests). If you read it that way, then we would have 9 seats too.
But all things considered, I think the ultimate solution for our problem is to have the current Assembly vote on which way to interpret the law and phasing in the constitution as it's the assembly who "Enact laws and policies for the Region".
It all depends on how we interpret the wording. I personally would rather have more people in the Assembly than less.
9 seats might be the way to get more creativity into the Assembly. Granted, my historical knowledge of NY is a bit less than other people here, but I do like the idea.
I mean, if we wanted to generate activeness, we would have more to have a potential of nine people who would constantly check up, instead of just seven and then maybe have the other two check back. Granted, its never like that, but there's still a chance. I think it would be fine to have nine. What are everyone else's thoughts?
9 seats sounds good.
It is ultimately Gell's decision, but I like nine.
Well actually I believe it's the assembly's decision since per to the Constitution, the assembly "Enact laws and policies for the Region", Gell steps in if we fail to act on something for over a week.
And as it stands looks like we got a majority with five supporting 9 seats thus far.
Hey all. I was inactive for awhile but I decided to get back on and rejoin! I'll be a lot more active again and I hope to bring my nation back to it's former glory.
Lets just go with nine seats then.
Nine sounds good to me
