Parliament of the Star Empire of Manticore

The Imperial Parliament of the Star Empire of Manticore was the proposed legislative body of the Star Empire of Manticore.
Permanently seated on Manticore, each member system of the SEM will receive seats for five peers to the Imperial House of Lords, with each federal unit such as the Star Kingdom of Manticore, Talbott Quadrant, or any subsequently added units choosing the criteria of selection. All members of the Imperial House of Lords will hold lifetime peerages.
Membership in the Imperial House of Commons would be elective by all taxpayers of the planet for which they are seated and with seats apportioned on the basis of population. The total number of seats will be apportioned to twenty per system and each system, regardless of population, will be guaranteed one seat. For the first fifteen years, seventy-five percent of the seats will be elected by the Old Star Kingdom. The percentage will decrease to sixty percent after another fifteen years and then twenty-five percent after another twenty-five years. Thereafter, population will be the sole determinant. ()
