Origins

Constancian Republicanism

The roots of Constancian republicanism can be traced to The Liberal Voice Party, Fileléfthero Kómma Foní, a centrist political party in the Kingdom of Constancia. It was founded during the First Welleys’ Regency in xxxx by a group of liberal-leaning politicians and businesspeople led by Elena Weston. The Liberals uphold the principles of a free market with little or no government intervention and were considered pro-business. They used to be anti-monarchy, but this policy was reversed later.

Republican sentiment was fostered and republican ideals were agitated in Parliament, primarily through the efforts of

There was initial hope with the subsequent rise of the Alexandrian exile, Jaime Augustin Joaquin Primo de Aguilar to the premier post of Autokrator of Constancia, considering his consular policies in the more liberal atmosphere that was the Empire of the Alexandrians. The promulgation of the Magna Carta of with constitutional guarantees, and a more representative Imperial Synkletos but these hopes were dashed and expectations tempered with the establishment of the Primokratia.

The establishment of the nearby Republic of Alduria in 1672 galvanized the democratic and republican elements in Constancian society, particularly the more liberal elite as well as a few members of the Constancian diaspora who had lived in less restrictive nations in Micras.

On 22.XI.1676, the Democratic Alliance, a political movement and loose coalition of Constancian individuals and organizations advocating for constitutionalism, civil and human rights, self-determination, universal suffrage and democratic reforms, consolidated efforts and headquartered in Punta Santiago, Alduria. Funded in part by sympathetic Constancian elite, the Constancian diaspora and other democrats, their efforts resulted in several major victories.

First was the introduction in the 3rd Imperial Synklētos in 1674 of a Bill to amend the Magna Carta by extending the term of an Imperial Synklētos from a mere 9 months, in accordance with Article 42 of the Magna Carta, to seven years. [1]

The second victory was the pushing through of the elections for the Dikastis of the 4th Imperial Synklētos in 1678, where an impressive 54 candidates of the Democratic Alliance were duly elected, ranking second electorally to the Imperial Democratic Party with 92 seats, resulting in a pro-democratic majority in the elected part of the Imperial Synklētos. Such numbers in representation in government had not been seen since the 1st to 4th Synkletos of the Free and Associative Kingdom.
