The great mistake of the Silesian chancellor is that he imagines republicanism and democracy as inherently violent ideologies that must be spread by the sword if they to are exist. In this regard, he differs little than the monarchist powers of Europe that feared and loathed both the French Revolution and our own.
Chancellor, why do you imagine that there is a minority of people who do not support democracy when it theoretically favors everybody? I will tell you; it is because these people are simply power-hungry, selfish and corrupt, who believe themselves strong enough to seize all the power for themselves. Democracy does not exist solely to protect the majority, as you seem to imagine it does; it is also the best mechanism to protect the weak from the strong. A dictator or a monarch is but one man, one man who through no mandate from the people may impose his will upon them all. Monarchs are not like you and I; they are plucked from amongst the ever constant and inbred noble houses of Europe. They neither know nor care for the struggles of the people and thus are unable to respond to them. How could such a man understand the concerns of the "twenty," as you put it, the worker, the farmer, the laborer, the poor and downtrodden? Not all presidents are perfect, but all monarchs are inherently flawed. Only through a republican democracy can the interests of those with the least economic and social power be preserved against those with the most. If you intend to make the argument to me that the moneyed and aristocratic interests in Danubia require the protection of a dictatorship, then you are little different than the reactionaries: greedy, short-sighted, and corrupt.

This is all totally absurd. Our nation was founded on opposing monarchy. The Revolution of 1848 is the foundation of the national character, no matter how much reactionaries might try to reverse it. The Danubian Federation indisputably is and shall remain a democratic republic. A federal monarchy is totally out of the question, and Mr. Hapsburg has no legitimacy to do anything of import whatsoever, whether it be "negotiating" peace with one side only or attempting to rule and lord over us as a tyrant as his ancestors did. Federal monarchy is off the table and I refuse to give the idea any more undeserved legitimacy by discussing it further.
The Hungarian absorption of the Romanian Provinces: No
The Education Expansion and Elaboration Act: Yes
The Sickness Insurance and Welfare Act: Yes

A small and deranged but vocal minority constantly and irrationally squawking that Mr. Hapsburg is a unifying figure does not make it so. You may adore him for some strange reason, but I do not care what some random foreigner says or does just because he has a famous last name, and neither do most of the people in the Federation, since the Danubian national character is founded upon the federal republic. Mr. Hapsburg has done nothing to earn anyone's respect, any more than any other man. He may be trying to achieve peace, in his mind, but he is doing it wrong, and anyway I would rather have peace through victory, and I would rather save democracy than have peace.
The people don't want a king.
No such change will ever be necessary because the people of Danubia will never want or accept a monarchy.
((Since the Commission never had powers to convict anyone of anything, am I just to assume anyone who appeared before the Commission prior to conviction is to be set free?))
