Black Hat Movement: Difference between revisions

The basis that forms Black Hat ideology is that a society fundamentally functions in a better fashion with a limited authority figure as its head rather than an authoritarian king. While the Black Hats during the Black Hat Movement’s beginnings did not advocate for democracy, many of these theories and ideological foundations would end up supporting the Nisser Revolution.

 

The Black Hat Movement was successful in its goal of limiting the power of Nikolai I through the Volkscharta, which removed some of his powers and privileges, including issuing executions without a trial. Other such powers that were taken away include but are not limited to: the ability to create and repeal laws without a consensus of the noblemen, the ability to be above the law, the ability to confiscate the property of a noble without a trial, and the ability to raise taxes on a single nobleman without due process.

 

Many powers that were once considered to be standard for the King became illegal via the Volkscharta. Many future incidents involving monarchical overreach often cite this document as proof of the King’s violations. The monarchs following Nikolai I often violated the document and did not treat it as a legitimate legal document. This further widened the divide between the monarch and the rest of the Nisser as monarchs became to be seen as more and more out of touch with the rest of the country and their pleads.
