While the agenda set at the Diet of Frankfurt in 1517 was not completed before the dissolution of the Diet, the Diet of Augsburg succeeded at passing three reforms, two of which were originally proposed in Frankfurt.
Imperial Officers Reform
Preamble: The impeachment of Eitel Friedrich II as President of the Reichskammergericht was unprecedented. It brought to an end the ongoing trials against the King of Bohemia and Elector of Saxon and brought accusations of corruption against what should be an unimpeachable democratic system. This reform is designed to prevent unjust removal of Imperial officials from their posts, either by an Emperor seeking to subvert Imperial Law or by a Reichsregiment motivated by corruption. While we do not believe that tyrrany or corruption is part of the current state of affairs in the Empire, it is necessary to take steps to safeguard the Empire against the spread of tyrrany and corruption. Making these posts permanent may be necessary if the Reichsregiment is to acquire more power as a true Regency Council.
- The following people will be considered Imperial officers: the Reichsregiment chair, the three Imperial Regents, the Presidents and Judges of the two Imperial Courts (Reichskammergericht and Reicshofrat), and the Imperial Chancellor.
- Any person who is appointed as an Imperial Officer will be entitled to keep that position until they die or voluntarily resign.
- The only body able to involuntarily remove an Imperial Officer from their position is an Imperial Court that has found that officer guilty of a crime under Imperial Law.
- The trial of an officer of the Reichskammergericht can only be held in the Reichshofrat. The trial of an officer of the Reichshofrat can only be held by the Emperor himself.
Counts’ Representatives
Preamble: While the Free and Imperial Cities have enjoyed limited representation on the Princes’ College since the Diet of Konstanz, this has led to uproar among the Counts of the Empire that the Cities get representation and they do not. Thus, we have decided it is the appropriate time to add representatives of the Counts of the Empire to the Princes’ College.
- We will add 12 seats to the Princes’ College. Eight for the Counts of the Empire and Four for the Imperial Abbotts.
- One of the Counts’ seats will be granted to the Wetterau Association of Imperial Counts. The Second of the Counts’ seats will be granted to the Counts’ College of the Swabian League. The other six seats will be elected by the Counts of each Imperial Circle, with the exception that the Bavarian and Austrian circles will elect one representative between the two of them..
- The Imperial Abbey representatives will be two: one for the Abbeys of the Lower Rhenish Circle and the Lowlands, one for the Abbeys of the Saxon Circle and Franconian Circle, one for the Abbeys of the Upper Rhenish and Swabian Circles, and one for the Abbeys of the Bavarian and Austrian Circles.
Amendment to the Reichsregiment Constitution
The King of Bavaria, who does not recognize the authority of the Reichsregiment, will no longer be entitled to a seat in the Reichsregiment.
