Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Davos' words made the people on the square thoughtful and began to whisper.A savvy person realizes that the savvy consul will not raise such a sensitive topic at this sensitive moment for no reason. I am afraid that there is something to announce and suddenly get excited.

Sure enough, Davers raised the volume and continued: "The Senate, as the leader of Dionysia, the leader of the citizens, immediately conducted a profound review and reflection on himself after this incident, and after repeated The discussions and amendments of this year passed the Dionysia Local Council Act this morning."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole square was commotion.

"Quiet! Quiet!" Daveus gestured and said aloud: "You listen carefully after I finish talking, otherwise you miss the key point, if I want to say it again, I'm not so good 'S attitude."

After Davies' jokes made the people laugh again, they all stared at Davos on the stage and raised their ears, fearing that they would miss every word, and the square would become silent.

"This bill allows cities in the Dionysian Union to establish their own local councils, which are formed by the various Demos (this is an administrative unit being established by Dionysian, which is lower than the city and is formed by the merger of several villages) The basic requirement for the election of Bendermore’s parliamentarians by a referendum is that every 300 citizens elect a parliamentarian. The requirements for candidates must first be Dionysian citizens, and have served in military service, have no tax evasion records, and have no major Citizens with good criminal records and good performance can serve as members of the Parliament. These members are elected by the citizens to form the local council of the city, assist the city chief to formulate local laws and regulations, supervise the work of public officials, and put forward opinions beneficial to the development of the city. ...The term of office of the members of the local council is two years, and the referendum is held during the winter break. In addition, after the annual autumn harvest, each city’s local council will also elect a delegation to come to Turri to participate in the General Assembly of the Senate, Listening to the summary of the development of Dionysia by the elders of the Senate, you can put forward your own opinions and participate in the revision of the Dionysia Code and the formulation of new laws..."

As soon as Daphus's voice fell, the entire square began to boil: The Old Court of Dionysia finally gave ordinary citizens the right to participate in and discuss politics!

Theos and Dick Polis glanced at each other, thinking the same thing: the problems they were worried about yesterday had already been resolved by Davis. Those businessmen who heard this news, I am afraid they would dismiss leaving Dionys. Ya's decision...

Like the other people, they were shouting and excited.

However, they saw Daveus still standing on the wooden platform, shouting: "Quiet! Please keep quiet! My words have not been finished!"

Through the retransmission of more than a dozen soldiers, the people who heard this immediately reminded each other: "Master Sir, there is still something to say!!!"

The people immediately suppressed their inner excitement, held their breath, and wanted to continue listening to what good news Daveus would say.

"The Dionysian Union is different from other city-states. The Senate directly governs many cities and leads your hundreds of thousands of people. Officially, because the affairs are too numerous and the territory is too large, the Senate cannot be fully and strictly monitored. Nor can public officials in all cities be fair and clean, and only criminals who embezzled the Union’s public property, such as Polyxis and Orifis. Now there are local councils to assist in governance and supervision. The situation may be much better, but—"

Davers remarked: "All Dionysian citizens can be elected as members of the local council, including those who have served in the Union’s public office and those who have retired as members of the city-state public office. After a long time, they may appear some problems."

Daveus stopped talking, and immediately the crowd asked curiously, "Adult, what's wrong?"

"Aren't you worried about the conspiracy of members of parliament and public officials to see the collusion of money right like today?" The words of Davers were like throwing a pot of cold water on the heads of the people, causing them to think deeply.

"Advert Davies shouldn't speculate about the future local lawmakers with such an attitude." Rafaias, who has still been the Registrar of the Union, whispered his opinion.

"No, my opinion is exactly the opposite." Senior Judge Trito de Mos, who returned to the veteran, retorted: "Master Davis made the corresponding bill for the worst possible situation, which is actually protecting They, avoiding someone to become second to Polyx, this is the best effect of the Dionysia Law, which is to deter the people and make them obey the law, not to catch more criminals."

At this time, Davers said in a high voice: "For this reason, I propose to invite the Senate to discuss and pass the Dionysian Protection Officer Act."

Guardian officer?The people are puzzled by this strange word.

Compared with the slow response of the people, the expressions of the elders on the steps are much more exciting, and even Kunogolata, who has always been steady, also sighed helplessly: "Today is really a victory for civilians!"

"This is a good thing!" Cornelius said happily: "I used to misunderstand Master Davers. I didn't expect that once he was determined to involve citizens in politics, the concessions he made would be so great!"

Mariji sneered even more after listening to the comments of the elders around him.

"The bill allows Democrats in various cities to vote for a civic officer. The maximum number of custodians in each city is ten, and the term of office is two years. The civic officer-if you listen to this name, you should know that it is a civilian protection As a civil servant, he must be a citizen who has never held any public office and vowed not to hold public office in the future. Of course, he must also be a good citizen who has served in military service, paid taxes on time, and has no criminal record. The task is to supervise and expose the violations of public officials and parliamentarians. Local regulations that are detrimental to the interests of civilians can be discussed and revised with parliament, and even rejected. The privilege, unless it is a felony committed by itself, no one can harm the escort officer, otherwise he will be sentenced aggravated! During the annual winter break, the escort officer in each city will also select representatives to come with the parliamentary delegation to figure out Lie, report to the Dionysian consul and the most senior inspectors and judges on local supervision and make recommendations... The two articles of the Dionysian Local Council Act and the Dionysian Protector Officer Act The detailed original text of the important bill will be posted on the bulletin wall for you to watch carefully. (The bulletin wall is a few shadow walls built under the steps of the side hall of the Senate House under the initiative of Davos the year before. When a new bill is passed or a new order is issued, the original text will be posted on the wall so that the public can understand and learn in time."

After Daveus finished, the square suddenly fell into a strange calm.The people don’t seem to believe this is true. Yesterday they were still angry about the corruption of the elders, arguing whether they would go to the grand hall of the elders’ court to protest for a civic conference, and today they suddenly have the right to participate in politics , The power of deliberation and supervision, especially the post of civil protection officer, this is really giving ordinary civilians the right to speak in politics.

The people seemed to be dreaming. Someone asked silly to Daphes on the stage: "Is it true, sir?"

Daphes replied with a smile: "Don't you believe what I said?"

So the square was full of joy, and the ecstasy of the people was far from being comparable to watching a rugby game, having a hot spring bath, or even participating in a Hades celebration. This is the natural desire of mankind for power and freedom.

People with rich experience have a few minds: Even in a very democratic city-state, such as Athens, most people only have to participate in political affairs and vote for the election of generals. Those in power on stage are always highly-educated, wealthy citizens and even nobles Ordinary people spend money all day because of life, how can they get education?How can I deal with city-state affairs?When the city-states are nobles and rich people in power, will they think more about civilians?The answer is obvious.Now in the Dionysian Union, the ruling lord asked the Senate to take the initiative to hand over some rights to civilians, so that they can directly intervene in the implementation of laws and regulations, and pull out the lawbreakers among public officials. How could this not please them mad!

"Long live Dionysia!!!"

"Lord Lord Davis, long live!!!"

These two heartfelt cheers like the waves in the sea alternately rumbling and rolling across the square until they resounded throughout the city.

This will be a new era!Daphes stood in the choppy center, standing still and solemn: the Senate has the legislative power, the parliament has the power to participate in politics, the civil servant has the supervisory power, checks each other, forms a balance, and initially reaches the political structure he envisaged, and he Where is your position?

Daveus looked at the sun that had begun to fall, warm but not hot, striking but not dazzling...

…………………………

In the city of Syracuse, the Dionysian mission led by Ansitanos has been there for several days.

"Teacher, I'm inquiring about it." Henipolis hurried into the room and said angrily to Ansitanos: "The information we got before we came was indeed true. Dionysius had already returned, yesterday. There were people who saw Dionysius going to the port to greet Carthage’s second messenger, but he didn’t see us for five days. What does that mean?! To know that we are the messengers of Dionysia, he This is a humiliation to our Dionysian Union! Teacher, let’s not wait any longer, immediately go back to Turriy and accuse Dionysius of our humiliation!
