Tribune of the People

A Tribune of the People is a rank obtained by any lowborn individual - or select nobleman - whose executive powers are directed towards the governing of any single city. The Tribune is responsible for voicing the thoughts of the people on any giving matter. It is an especially powerful rank considering that they can opt to veto any laws which come through a city by decisions reached by the Procurator or Head Magistrate, or otherwise have them revised to fit the needs of a population.

Duties and Responsibilities
The Tribune acts as the main voice of the lowborn population of any city and also acts as the representative of the lower-ranking nobility throughout an area. The rank first originated in Praevalita after the decision to divide the Northern Territories into their provinces.

Aside from basic financial and economic responsibilities, the Tribune of the People acts as a force of reckoning for the unheard and oppressed to keep from any sort of tyrannical activity. The Tribune has the ability to veto any laws which may be viewed as unethical or immoral, and has the ability to request a double jeopardy for any individual of the city wrongly convicted in a court of law.

The Tribune's term lasts a total of 6 years, though may be cut short during any two year interval so that he may either advance or resign.
