The council of the Reform League was held in the Putney Theatre, which later became known as the "Putney Debate".

The core and focus of the "Putney Debate" was the issue of suffrage in the upcoming new system, and the two sides of the debate were represented by Siali and Ji Weiluo.

As a citizen-born enlightener, Ji Weiluo once admired Xi Ailie immensely, because he was the leader of the reform movement, with excellent writing and excellent eloquence, and it was by listening to the other party's speech when Ji Weiluo was unemployed that he determined a new direction for his life and joined the vigorous reform cause.

Shealee also reciprocated his admirer by promoting him to the rank of Parliamentary Member after the June Uprising.

However, as the reform movement progressed, serious political differences arose between Siali and Ji Weiluo, and relations began to deteriorate, and they officially broke up with the "Putney Debate".

In the future, the parliamentarians representing the country will be elected, which is the consensus of the Reform Alliance, but there are differences about the electoral law.

He demanded that the electors have a limit on their assets, and that only if they reach a certain level of property can they have the right to vote, and if they want to have the right to be elected, they need more property, so that the right to be elected will only fall into the hands of a few merchants, and only some wealthy citizens will have the right to vote.

This is also understandable, according to Xi Erlie's theory, the poor have a conscience, and the poor mean that they are not well educated, and they are easily moved by all kinds of demagoguery, so they don't need to worry about national affairs, and they can simply accept the rich people with a conscience to lead them.

Ji Weiluo raised a fierce objection to this, and his rebuttal gave Xi Erlie a headache, and what made Ji Weiluo's speech style even more troublesome was obviously learned from himself.

"According to this standard, our militia, most of the militia belonging to the citizens, will not even have the right to vote, do you mean these militias have no morality? Then why do they join the reforms? If the citizens do not have any say, does it matter to them whether the state should file a case or not?"

There is no way to answer this question directly, because armed militias are a source of strength for the Reform Alliance, so the best way to do this is to avoid answering this question head-on and messing around in other ways.

"What will happen if your proposal to vote is so low that all but those who are wandering in the wilderness or unemployed can participate in and be elected?"

"The ratio of the rich to the burghers in our motherland is about 1:5, and if both the rich and the burghers become completely equal electors, then the result is clear, they will force the electors to make laws that suit their interests, and through all kinds of short-sighted means, so that assets and status are equal, is this fair? This is the fairness of the mob! It is a short-sighted riot!"

The two sides had a heated argument on this issue, and neither could convince the other that the reformist alliance did not want to split at this time, which would only cheapen the nobility, so a compromise was negotiated in order to bridge the conflict between the two sides as much as possible.

In order to ensure that the compromise was a genuine compromise and not a secession bill, the Reform League also introduced the "spirit of the compromise", which was to be observed by all members of the League until it was passed, when a compromise proposed within the League was approved by a two-thirds vote.

Some of them vehemently opposed the "spirit of the compromise", which they considered to be a kind of obligation kidnapping, and that "an unreasonable proposal is still an unreasonable proposal no matter how many people agree to it!" said these opponents, but they could not prevent the "spirit of compromise" from being passed, and could only declare their withdrawal from the Reform League as a final protest.

There were two types of people who withdrew from the Reform League, one was that they really did not like the "spirit of compromise" and were unwilling to go against their will to approve proposals they did not like, and this group of people later became basically neutral in Parliament.

The other was because they were too radical and knew that the compromise passed by the parliament would inevitably be far from their own purpose, so they withdrew from the alliance, and after this group of people withdrew from the alliance, they formed other alliances of various sizes with people with similar positions, but these alliances later began to promote the "spirit of the compromise".

In short, with the introduction of the "spirit of the compromise", the reform alliance ushered in the first wave of withdrawal, but the people of Xi Erlie, Ji Weiluo and Werner did not retreat, they all agreed to the "spirit of the compromise" and decided to stay in the alliance and fight each other.

The negotiation of the compromise of the Reform Alliance was quite difficult, and it almost aborted and the League was divided for the second time, but finally the "Third Compromise" was finally passed the day before the meeting.

Compared to the original demands of both sides, the "Third Compromise" made adjustments in various aspects, such as a slight reduction in the right to vote in the Siali standard, while the right to vote was significantly reduced to close to the standard of Ji Weiluo, and the introduction of the concept of property weighting, the rich will have more voting rights than the poor.

After the end of the "September Uprising", the individual clubs realized that the past days of occasional salons between clubs were over, and that the struggle of the new era could only be adapted to the struggles of the new era by uniting all clubs of the same tendencies and setting up chapters in the field, as in the case of the Reform League.

As a result, the Battyros alliance was divided into many members of the Reform League because of the "spirit of compromise", and they adopted those with similar positions to form a new alliance.

However, most of these alliances account for a negligible proportion, and apart from the reformist alliances, only the noble alliances are truly influential.

The Noble League was an alliance formed after the annexation of the orthodox aristocracy based on the enlightened aristocracy, and was contemptuously called the Old Aristocratic League by the Reform League.

When the time came to October 2, the fourth meeting of the Preparatory Parliament was held as scheduled, and for the first time the major alliances met at the venue of the former Great Council, which was also the first meeting of the Preparatory Parliament after it had obtained the legitimacy of the Parliament, which was mainly to determine the main theme, that is, the manner in which the new law should be introduced.

After an afternoon of discussions, the Parliament was prepared to adopt the "Fifth Option", which is to hold primary elections from 4 to 7 October to elect a new group of legitimate members of the Preparatory Parliament, followed by a discussion of about three months to discuss the elections for a genuine Parliament by this year, as well as the new laws that are on the horizon.

By October 7, when the parliamentary elections were completed, the Reform Alliance won 67% of the seats, directly controlling more than two-thirds of the seats, but it was said to have complete control of the parliament.

The second largest alliance is the Noble League of the Old Aristocracy, with 16% of the seats, and the remaining 17% of the seats are divided among the other Leagues, and even if the Noble League joins forces with all the other Alliances, it will not be able to thwart the proposal that the Reform League wants to pass, because the Reform League has more than two-thirds of the seats.

As for the Atona aristocracy, it was the most tragic faction in this election, and the Atona faction, which held one-third of the seats in the Provisional Parliament, accounted for only 2% of the Preparatory Parliament, and belonged to one of the other allies.

After the members of the Preparatory Parliament were elected, the members began to discuss what should be done, namely, how to transform this long-established country into a new country that suited their own ideas, but there was a disagreement on this, and it was difficult to obtain agreement even within the Reform Alliance, let alone prepare for the Parliament.

As a result, the rules for preparing for the election of the parliament were to be extended to the whole country, and the whole month and a half were discussed, which completely exceeded the initial expectation, which led many people to have no expectations that the outline of the constitution would be discussed by the end of this year.

It was at this time that the 44-year-old Mipoloka, a member of parliament affiliated with the Noble League, made a proposal that succeeded in saving the preparatory parliament, that is, the new law did not need to discuss every detail, but only the framework, and then the legal details could be discussed after the formal parliament was established, and the subsequent laws could not exceed the provisions of this legal framework.

This proposal was overwhelmingly passed by the Preparatory Parliament, and the parliamentarians changed from discussing the new law to discussing the framework of the new law, which is the "mother law".

Since the discussion was only about the mother law, the progress was greatly accelerated, and even before the time entered December, all the discussions were completed on the last day of November, that is, the "Outline of the November Mother Law".

In this Outline of the November Mother Law, it was provided for the abolition of a large number of feudal privileges, such as the right of lords, forest concessions, etc., and the full restoration of the enlightened policies of the time of Fawti II, which were affirmed in the form of a constitution.

As for the separation of powers, which is the focus of the controversy, the outline only provides in general terms that the separation of powers should be implemented, and the more specific implementation can only be discussed at the time of the formal meeting, because after all, the reform alliance has done its best to unify its thinking to this point, and if it wants to continue to push forward, it will not be able to unify its thinking.

More importantly, the Outline of the November Mother Law imposed "temporary restrictions" on the nobility, i.e., a drastic reduction in the voting rights of the nobility, although the Reform League promised that this would be a one-time event, on the grounds that the nobility would learn the new ideas of reform, and that only the reformist aristocracy would have the right to vote, no doubt in order to maintain control of the parliament in next year's general elections.

When the Outline of the November Mother Law was submitted, it was vigorously opposed by the Honorable League, but the Reform League passed the "spirit of compromise" to make the votes of its factions exactly the same, and many other allies also supported the Reform League, so that the Mother Law easily passed by two-thirds of the votes in favor.

When the Outline of the November Mother Law was passed by Parliament, there was only one last link left before it was realized, which was signed by Seliti III, but the problem was that Seliti III refused to sign it.
