Constitutional Court

• The constitutional court notes that it would also have been appropriate to give the virtue inquisitors the inquisitor power of the Imperial Inquisitor - to perform an inquisition each season without the need for a vote in the Synod, and in addition to any existing judgements they have raised normally.
• The constitutional court further notes that it would be appropriate to extend the power of inquisitor's judgement to the Imperial Inquisitor as well.
