"I can understand His Royal Highness's idea, but there is one question I have always expressed concern, that is, even if we give generous conditions, what should they do if they still have to gain a better position? The Austro-Hungarian Empire is an example. Before you took charge of Bohemia, the local non-German tended to be independent. However, in addition to being gentle, you have more compulsory measures, such as ordering all government personnel in Bohemia to understand German. At the same time, it is required that the content of German teaching in schools should not be less than 50%. Your current idea seems to be somewhat different from what you did before."

1893 Open and honest 2

"I can't control Prussia, but in my country we will gradually give equal rights to the people who obey me, whether he was a German, a Pole or a Russian. As long as they are loyal to the empire, I will treat it equally." Ruprecht was not in the mood to have a long debate with Albert. As the superior side, he would do whatever he wanted.&1t;/p>

"I can understand His Royal Highness's idea, but there is one question I have always expressed concern, that is, even if we give generous conditions, what should they do if they still have to gain a better position?

At the same time, it is required that the content of German teaching in schools should not be less than 50%. Your current idea seems to be somewhat different from what you did before." Grand Duke Baden said carefully.&1t;/p>

To be honest, he really has no idea of ​​sabotage, nor does he have this motivation. In fact, the ones who really face the problem of new population and ethnic groups are Prussia and Bavaria. The new territory and population of other kingdoms are very limited. So it will not cause much trouble. Originally, this matter should have been better for Prince Albert to propose, but after thinking about it, the young prince still lacks experience and a sense of responsibility in doing things. If he offended Ruprecht for this, it would be bad.&1t;/p>

"Whether it is for the Czechs in Bohemia or for other ethnic groups today, my standards are the same. Government agencies and education must promote German, and the tendency of national independence must be curbed. Bohemia was too serious in that time, so I decided to curb it. But now the situation facing those who have added new territory is completely different from that in Bohemia. They are either loyal to us or depend on Red Russia. Apart from that, there is no other choice. Can you imagine that Russians or Belarusians in other regions can choose to establish their own countries except Ukraine?"&1t;/p>

"We are actually competing for the people's hearts with the new Red Russia. As for those Ukrainians or Poles who really want to be independent, we can arrange them to the new Ukraine, or simply create a Poland in the east. It is possible." Ruprecht continued. "I don't want to say too much about this issue, after all, it is a state internal affairs issue. I just express my attitude and put forward my own opinions."&1t;/p>

"However, the result of your doing is that if the empire holds parliamentary elections in the future, there will be a lot of voters in Bavaria, which has formed a political advantage. This is not a matter of a kingdom. If other countries want to balance the number of voters in Bavaria, they can only choose the same way as you. When you decide to do this, others have no choice. You have won, but you have gained everyone's dissatisfaction." At this time, Barth finally spoke.&1t;/p>

He and Albert directly deny the prince from national feelings. He analyze it directly from political interests. Bart is also willing to adopt a one-person-one-vote system in the issue of parliamentary personnel elections. If Bavaria gives votes to other ethnic personnel, the proportion of Bavarian voters will increase and their weight will increase. The central government cannot interfere with Bavaria's move. The result is that either other states will also open up the right to vote or suffer this loss. However, no matter what the result is, other kingdoms will be dissatisfied with Bavaria and may even form a confrontation!&1t;/p>

"We have never agreed to one person, one vote. His Majesty the Emperor still believes that the hierarchical parliamentary system is reasonable. Especially now, when we have added a large number of other ethnic populations." However, what made Bart feel depressed was that before Ruprecht refuted, Prince Albert stood opposite Bart. Originally, Bart thought that Bavaria would pull away the hatred of other countries this time, but unexpectedly, he became the target of public criticism.&1t;/p>

"I think we have discussed this issue before. The future Imperial Parliament will be divided into two houses. The upper house can be elected by one person and one vote. Members of parliament are mainly political parties. The lower house is mainly individual and adopts hierarchical elections to conduct elections. Both houses have the right to propose proposals and have the right to veto. [31 Novel Network] The Prime Minister and Cabinet members are elected by members of the upper and lower houses. At the same time, they are established after confirmation by the Federal Parliament. However, the cabinet is only responsible to the Federal Parliament, not to the Imperial Parliament." Ruprecht said.&1t;/p>

"This idea is very good. The British did it this way. They still have a noble house. This plan takes into account the traditions of the empire and your requirements. I think this is our common bottom line." In fact, in previous exchanges, Ruprecht had reached an agreement with the German Emperor on the issue of the future parliamentary system, and the parliamentary faction was unclear on this issue. This time, after this opportunity, Ruprecht and the Grand Duke of Baden chose to put pressure on the parliamentary faction to accept this system.&1t;/p>

"However, this does not solve the problem of political rights inclination caused by the increase in the population of Bavarian voters." Bart said. "His Excellency Baden, we can discuss the issue of hierarchical parliament and one person and one vote in the future. Can we determine the number of voters now?" Bart was really sad. He didn't know whether Baden really didn't understand or pretended!&1t;/p>

"I have also thought about this question. Each state shares seats in the Imperial Parliament according to the population ratio! Note that this population is the number of adult natural persons in a state, not the number of voters. The large number of states enjoys more votes, and each state has a minimum of a certain number of votes. The votes of these small states are even out of the votes in Bavaria and Prussia." Ruprecht said.&1t;/p>

In fact, there is no real universal suffrage in this era. If you want to become a voter, you must meet the standards in terms of income, property and education to have a vote. There are many countries where ethnic minorities and women do not have the right to vote. For example, in history, women who were 30 years old in Britain had the right to vote in 1918, while Americans were 1920. As for the French, it may not be until 1944. In other words, at least half of the people in these countries do not have the right to vote and be elected...&1t;/p>
