The Starlight Court's Government: Difference between revisions

= Starlit Court Governance =

The [[Starlit_Court|Starlight Court]]'s Government is a constitutional monarchy, technically ruled directly by The High King, who is advised by The Council of Elders and The Council of Grandmasters, and The Unseelie Court acting in a similar function as a Supreme court. In practice, the Starlight court is ruled by the three bodies of The Council of Elders, The Council of Grandmasters, and The Unseelie Court. With the exception of the seat of the High King, all of the peoples of Sihi have the same ability to rise to any position or place of power in the government, no matter their species, race, sex, birth, age, disability, or other status. The heraldry, the pomp, and knightly titles - are relics from a bygone age, part of the society the Peoples of Sihi left behind, before taking flight from their original world. The foundational framework was put into place by Sihi’s original High King.

=== Casting Down Unjust Laws ===

A Law can only be replaced in this manner by the Unseelie Court. The Unseelie Court would hear any and all challenges to Laws that were brought up as unjust in cases of the lower courts. Most of the time laws thrown out in this manner are done so because they have been discovered to be Unjust and Unfair to the Peoples of Sihi. Very rarely has a party attempted to remove a Law for political reasons, as if it becomes discovered it is seen as highly Dishonorable, without good reason. However, turning the Public against a Law may occur to gain favor for the removal if unable to be removed in the legislature.
