Chapter 195: Chapter 195 House of Representatives
On the planet called 'Sherine', in addition to those huge ravines composed of buildings that can be used as actual latitude and longitude, you can also see something else.
From the perspective of outer space, there will be many large circles irregularly distributed on those neat latitude and longitude lines.
The existence of these circles does not destroy the overall beauty of the planet 'Serlin', but plays a role of embellishment, more natural and beautiful, rather than rigid, making it look more like a work of art, a planetary-level work of art.
However, it is not a product of performance art. In the world of the Selin people, the area inside the circle symbolizes 'rights' and is the place called the 'House of Representatives' in the Selin people's world.
The Selin Empire is not the word of the head of state. Excessively centralized power and strong execution ability will also bring extremely high risks, which may even lead to the collapse of the empire.
Therefore, there are checks and balances on power. Every Yuan capital will think about how to check and balance his own rights. Then, the final answer to this thinking is the emergence of an institutional organization such as the House of Representatives, which represents the 'people' of the empire.
The House of Representatives has only one right, that is, if all the members pass unanimously, they can veto the order from the head of state.
In a dictatorship, what is the order of the head of state? For soldiers, it is a military warrant! For crazy believers, it is an oracle! For businessmen, they must not exceed the law of the mall that is violated!
Now, with something above this, the center of power of the empire is bound to tilt, which is also the result that successive heads of state are willing to see.
Of course, the head of state will not foolishly make a stumbling block for himself. The obvious thing does not mean that the dark side is the same.
As long as a large number of various types of Houses of Representatives are deliberately set up, such as the Local House of Representatives, the House of Representatives of Regional Planning, the House of Social Services, the House of Representatives of Law, etc... In this way, the power of the head of state will not be constrained, but in the eyes of the unruly people who know nothing, there are checks and balances, and they are very large. The checks and balances.
Marvin was different from Naf. After saying goodbye to Naf, Marvin did not return to his residence, but was taken to a place by his brother, that is, the House of Representatives.
It is the original House of Representatives and the largest development. According to the vision of that generation of heads of state, it represents 'people', that is, the checks and balances on the power of the head of state. At that time, 'the House of Representatives' was still a very novel term, which just appeared.
However, the head of state's idea was still too idealistic. He did not take into account the weakness of the Selin people hidden in human nature. The development of this House of Representatives was ultimately contrary to the original expectations.
At the beginning, after receiving the information of the 'House of Representatives', local forces and all kinds of local snakes immediately used all their resources and energy to mobilize local people and support them to become members of parliament. In this case, the House of Representatives will certainly go more and more, because it has been crooked from the beginning.
Later, the House of Representatives was decentralized. Although the original House of Representatives lost the right to compete with the head of state, the global local forces were still a force that could not be underestimated.
Up to now, the House of Representatives has developed into an existence that cannot be ignored in the empire, but it has been suppressed by the head of state.
Marvin stood quietly in the center of the hall, and then, centering on the position where she stood, starting with a radius of 8 meters, there were circles and circles of high seats.
The number of tens of thousands of individuals and the pressure formed by the convergence of eyes can be imagined, but that is for ordinary Selin people.
"I'm very tired. I was called here by you as soon as the interstellar voyage was over. If you don't explain the reason why you called me here, then I'm leaving.
With that, Marvin turned around and was about to leave. Naturally, this gesture would make some people unable to sit still.
"Wait."
"Are you finally willing to talk? Isn't it all right?"
Marvin mocked a wave of facelessness, abruptly pushed back what the other party just wanted to say, and forcibly terminated the topic.
"..."
"What do you want to say? Or what do you want from me?"
Marvin, in turn, took the lead in grabbing the initiative of words.
"Well, Sir Marvin, we hope to get information about the monsters on the colonial star from you."
"Didn't I send the information back to the home planet? What else do you want to know?"
Marvin glanced at the senators in the seat with questioning eyes.
"Sir, what we want to know is more detailed information, do you understand? I hope you can tell us the hidden information, and we are willing to give enough 'sincere' to exchange it.
"Sincerity? I'm so tired now, but you talk about sincerity here? Without even a chair, just let me stand for so long.
"We are sorry about this, but please be sure to believe our sincerity. We have a very friendly attitude."
There is no fluctuation on Ma Wenming's surface. He is secretly slandering. Is your 'friendliness' to come up and show off the 'guests' first?
"To be honest, I have handed over all the information. What reason do I have to hide it? What benefits can this bring to me?
Marvin explained again that did not hide the information.
However, the other party seemed to be sure that Marvin was hiding something.
"Real? Then let's go straight to the saying."
"You once said at a banquet held by Governor Augustus, 'Something turns life on that planet into what it is now'. What have you studied this question?"
Marvin was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the other party would ask this.
"What did you say? That's just my early speculation, and until now there is no conclusive evidence to prove that speculation. How can I write it in the report?
"That's why I asked you to come here and want to know where you have researched."
"No progress."
"Please, Sir, don't make such a joke. Your ability is recognized by the whole empire."
"But I have to have time, right? Don't you know that with the increase of the battle intensity between monsters and the Fourth Fleet, we may disappear at any time? In that case, who can calm down and study?
"..."
At the end of the conversation, Marvin slowly left the House of Representatives.
After that, the legislators continued to ask about some other things, and Marvin answered truthfully, but according to Marvin's research on 'micro-expressions', these legislators didn't seem to care what the answer to the follow-up question was.
Marvin deliberately misreprobled several questions, but they didn't notice.
"It's really suspicious... This group of legislators..."
"What on earth are they planning?"
Holding such a question, Marvin muttered to herself as she walked.
