Reincarnated as an Imperial Prince

The Hope

The sun's orange glow streamed through the window of the office.

Alexander was standing in the middle of the room, the light penetrated through the thin cotton of his shirt. He was trying to organize his thoughts and draw up a plan for the legislative body of the Ruthenia Empire.

He's only been trying since one o'clock in the afternoon, but he felt like he's been going in circles. He's not getting anywhere with his plan.

"Dammit..., he slumped down on his chair and continued writing.

He racked up his brain up to the fullest. Trying to remember every details of the constitution he once read when he was passing the time in his company's legal office.

What he knew about the United States constitution is that it has three branches, the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. Each one of these branches is supposed to impose checks and balances on one another.

But writing up laws and constitution is not his forte so, at this moment, he can't really think of a constitution, nor apply the US constitution in Ruthenia Empire because of the difference in governance.

Alexander's hand paused for a moment as an idea strike his mind.

"What if I just adopt the Empire of Britannia's constitution? It's just the same where the executive branch would be the Emperor."

Coming up with that thought, Alexander stopped writing and gave up, crumpling the papers he had initially written and dumping them in the trashcan, frustrated, and decided to take a break, he needed to clear his mind.

He'll just ask for counsel from the people who know. With that, he leaned back in his seat, feeling refreshed as he found an easy way out of his struggle.

Not everything can be done by him, he needed people who have expertise in every field next to him to help him govern.

He's certain that if he asks Sergei about the new constitution the people wished, he'll come up with something.

Moments later, there was a knock on the door.

"Open," Alexander called out. The door slowly creaked open.

A silver-haired woman stepped inside the room with her eyes wandering around the office.

"Christina..."

"Brother...you look exhausted."

Alexander shrugged, "I'm just trying to come up with a new constitution, but it's not as easy as I thought."

"Ah...what's a constitution?" She tilted her head to the side, curiously.

Alexander's mouth dropped ajar after hearing her query. "What? You're seriously asking about that?"

Christina pouted at him. "I'm just asking brother...I don't know about it though I heard the word once..."

Alexander sighed. "Basically, the constitution is the rule of how the country is governed, how the law is written, how the country is run, and how the people should act," he explained simply and continued. "The people demanded participation and representation in the government called a legislative."

Christina tilted her head to the side. "So what does the legislative do?"

"The legislative is composed of elected representatives. These elected representatives will propose and approve the law. Discuss the work of the Emperor's government, and they will be able to look at the budget." Alexander concluded.

Christina gasped softly as if she was enlightened. "If you know that much dear brother how come you're struggling?"

"Well, it's because they are composed of ten to twenty well-written and concise articles which I can't basically come up with."
