The point of this Assembly is for the people of Spain, noticeably those with some influence, to voice their opinions and advise the king on matters pertaining to the governance of this fair nation. If we restrict this body to only landed nobility, this will severely hamper the Assembly's ability to advise His Majesty. A significant part of the population, some with vast amounts of wealth invested into industry and the Spanish economy, could no longer assist His Majesty. I would not be surprised that such blatant exclusion would make them feel as though their government does not represent them fairly and that they will take their business, and their vast wealth, elsewhere. I would hate for our nation's economy to suffer because Spain's most influential businessmen decided that they'd do better in a more favourable market like Britain. Seeing as the Assembly is a merely advisory body and any bill presented here must ultimately be approved by the king, a larger representation of the population would be preferable, allowing for the voicing of many different opinions from all loyal subjects of His Majesty, all while the king retains all the power. Limiting the franchise further would just lower the quality of advice being given due to the small segment of the population being represented in the adjusted Assembly.
