Decision-Making Process:
<1>As it was explained above, there will be
four bodies or pillars in the governmental structure:
administrative, judiciary, legislative, and the
Elders.
<2>The legislative body, which is the Senate
or the House of Representatives, will have many committees. These
committees will receive requests and complaints from people or
governmental bodies, or they themselves will find problems. Then
they will search for solutions, which will be recommended to the
Senate. <3>After the Senate studies a proposal from the point
of view of practicality and justness, they will vote on accepting or
rejecting it. If passed by the majority, then the proposed bill will
be sent to both the administrative board and the Board of
Brahmins.
<4>The administrative board will study the
bill from the point of view of practicality and feasibility. <5>The
Board of
Brahmins will study it
from the point of view of spirituality and justness to all or the
majority.
<6>If the bill was accepted by both boards,
it will become a law. If both bodies reject it, it will be dead.
<7>But if one passes it and the other rejects it, then the bill
will be returned to the Senate with the reasoning from each side for
their acceptance or rejection. Then the Senate will make a decision
again.
<8>If it was passed or with some change it was passed, it
will be sent to the two mentioned boards for further study.
<9>Again if one accepts and the other rejects
the proposal, the matter will be referred to the Senate one more
time. If it gains the majority vote in the Senate but the same
decision is reached by the boards again, this time the matter will
be referred to the
Elders.
<10>After it is discussed by them, then the three guardians will review
it and each head of the two bodies of
Elders
(heads of the Elders
from the administrative and judiciary bodies) will give their
opinion and reasoning behind it to the Eldest.
<11>It is the Eldest who will make the final decision.
<12>The presence of the
Elders can be especially
helpful in these times. They might point out the pros and cons of
the proposed law and guide the boards toward a wise decision.
