Their shape
The Parliament
Argued into being, and stronger for it.
The Parliament earns its decisions through debate and the vote, governed by and for its members. Its gift is legitimacy and broad buy-in, its challenge is the speed lost to deliberation.
Also reads toward The Republic and The League.
