Summary: It's politics class! Today we're having group discussions about the disadvantages of constitutional monarchy. Or what you're having for lunch, either one.
Warnings: to be added

[your teacher is sitting at the desk, marking your homework from the previous week. There aren't many sheets in front of her, mainly because very few students actually bothered to hand in any work. She doesn't seem entirely worried by this, and will only look up if someone makes a wide movement or voices get too raised.

The tables seat six apiece and are scattered around the room with enough space to walk between them easily. There are textbooks and notes on every table relevant to the debate, although the information tends to vary wildly on what world and timeline it's purportedly from.]

Comments

"Absolute power isn't the only alternative," he pointed out, expression as unreadable as always. "Rulers should be judged for their individual actions and decisions, rather than as a single system. Many of us live in worlds under a constitutional monarchy, but we all have different experiences."

"I don't get it," a voice said softly. Mikoto had showed up to class on Gaara's behalf... actually she had been following him like a good little sister and realized he was going to class. There was nothing wrong with this. Mikoto used to go to classes before, but she usually went seeing it was Mai's encouragement.

And this lesson was too complicated. She really didn't understand any of it. But she nodded at Gaara's comment, seemingly agreeing with him.

Suzaku listened silently, he nodded kindly to the other girl who he had not noticed before looking back at the strange boy with the red hair and darkened eyes, the girl with the blue hair and Lelouch.

"The system often effects the rulers though." His tone was polite, and he wasn't going to pretend he knew anything on the subject but in his understanding most nobles were effected by the system they lived in. Apart from Lelouch of course, and Euphemia. Euphemia hadn't been like her brother's or sister's at all.

That line of thought was not a good one and so Suzaku forced himself to concentrate on whatever everyone else had to say.

"A constitutional monarchy either props up an otherwise useless monarchy, or panders to those that oppose the will of their ruler by giving them something resembling a means to change their government, when in reality, it's those with the power that shape the country that they oversee. Not the other way around." It was definitely a viewpoint of someone that was clearly already disillusioned with what people did with power once they had it.
