Federalist Papers: A Time for Unity

Federalist Papers: A Time For Unity

**Vanaza City, Capital of the Kingdom of Nydia** | Councilor Nazar L. Vartanian, editor and chief author of the Federalist Papers, a weekly political newspaper popular in Nydia, has released this week’s copy of his famous title. Vartanian is seated on the Revolutionary Council, the body entrusted with the establishment of a permanent government, and has been vocal about founding a Nydian republic, but with the soon-to-be proclamation of Tesentan’s enthronement, Vartanian’s conservative elements have led him to write and publish the following treatise:

**Federalist Papers II:** The Revolutionary Council has now come together and decided to found a Nydian monarchy, inviting the army general and war hero, Gaioz Tesentan, to be the first King of Nydia. It is now time for all of us, despite political belief, to come together and get behind our new king. He is now the very interpretation of our nation. His presence will embody Nydia, and her people. We must now actively forgo attempts at republicanization, or the establishment thereof, and work to both trust and guide our new monarch. A monarchy is a hereditary system, where the first born of the current king or queen will inherit the throne upon the death of their parent. Therefore, as a people, we must observe the most honorable duty of service not only to King Gaioz and Nydia, but also to the will of God, who has chosen Tesentan to lead our peoples off the battlefields, and onto glory.
The Council will now draft the powers of the monarch and what government would serve as an intermediary between His Majesty and the people. Therefore, I, Nazar Vartanian, with the backing of the Nydian people, do declare that we must establish thereof a federal system, where a decent respect is made to the provinces of our new kingdom. In our glorious revolution, we did not come together in a single force until the middle of the conflict. We began as cells, not fighting for all of Nydia, but fighting for our homes and our communities. It is best we establish a Federal Constitutional Monarchy, where not only the people are represented, but also our provinces. We should establish a legislature, where not only the people have their representation in a lower house, but also the greater provinces in an upper house.
We shall also cooperate to establish a constitution, wherein we will outline the powers of the monarchy, the limits upon the government, and the freedoms of the people. It was the people of Nydia who fought ever so tirelessly for this most grand achievement, and not delivering unto them the basic freedoms ensured and outlined in our Proclamation of Sovereignty would be the greatest of disservices. The natural liberties, granted upon us by God at the conception of the universe, such as; life, speech, press, assembly, petitioning of government, defense with necessary armament. The right to the preservation of personal and private properties and belongings. The right to fair and just trials in courts of law. The right to an aptly-timed trial and the confrontation of witnesses or accusers in a court of law. The right to a trial by one’s peers in an assembled jury. The right to be free from cruel or unusual punishments, as well as from the concentration of law-determining powers in a single individual. And the right to not have these very basic rights twisted or manipulated or infringed upon by bodies of government or authority. We shall enumerate these conditions or regulations upon the duties of government in the interest of the people in a constitution, and I shall be he who demands these be defined in whatever manner our constitution shall exist to the Revolutionary Council whenever and wherever we may convene.
We must be loyal to our new, wise monarch, but we must never grow too eager or too blind to the machinations of malpractices of politicians and bureaucrats, of whom our King is most virgin to. We must define society as this: the people and their monarch against the overly-zealous and dangerous behaviors of governments, or individuals therein. May God bless the Kingdom of Nydia, and King Gaioz I!

This most passionately articulated issue of the Papers by Vartanian will likely send waves through Nydian society and the population. What fate may have in store for our peoples in the coming days, weeks, months, or years can only be determined by the Almighty. But the Nydian people and their righteous might will see through to the end.

Signed,
Nazar Levon Vartanian
