To His Most Excellent Majesty JAMES THE SECOND by the Grace of God of Hanover and Varennes King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, Supreme Governor of the Church of Hanover:

Everlasting Fealty, Loyalty and Benediction!

Whereas His Grace the Most Reverend the Archbishop of Bergen, Primate of the Church of Hanover, known in this Realm by the alias "Vulstanius", the Reverend Monsignor, Prothonotary, and Canon of the Cathedral of St. George known in this Realm by the alias "Alexander von Kassel", and the Reverend Mister Christopher D. McQueeny, an Archdeacon of the Church of Hanover have, each and every one of them, subscribed to a declaration posted this day in the forum called "Ellicott Square" impertinently demanding that Your Majesty at once relinquish Your Supremacy over the Church of Hanover and by which document they do now find themselves in open and unrepentant rebellion against the Sovereign authority of Your Majesty,

Therefore now I James Richard Edward George KELLS, by Your Majesty's favour Lord Bishop of Kells, do herewith charge each and every of the aforementioned clerics with the commission of an open act of Schism,

And as a remedy therefore, I do most humbly pray that Your Majesty, for the sake of the unity of Your Church of Hanover, do divest the aforementioned clerics of any and all offices, titles, styles, dignities, privileges, preeminences, and prerogatives such as they may currently enjoy as clerics and officers of the Church of Hanover.

And for reparation of the scandal of treason and schism that the aforementioned clerics have so wantonly laid before the whole of Your Majesty's People, I do most humbly and most solemnly petition and advise Your Majesty to most publicly and most solemnly issue against said treacherous and schismatic clerics a sentence of final and incontrovertible excommunication from the Church of Hanover.

Wherefore I have the honour to be Your Majesty's Most Loyal, Most Humble, and Most Obedient Servant,

+James KELLS

Request for Constitutional Rule

To His Majesty the King of Hanover and Varennes, the Declaration of the People of Hanover.

Whereas we, being loyal citizens of the Kingdom of Hanover, consider that in recent times much has been done that is repugnant to the true principles of constitutional monarchy, so dear to us and to the traditions of Hanover, and think it now necessary and vital that the said principles should clearly and speedily be established in law: we have judged it a duty incumbent upon us, to present and declare these our most just and necessary demands to Your Majesty.

1. That Your Majesty shall immediately repudiate the notion of royal sovereignty in Hanover, recognizing instead that sovereignty rests with the people, as represented in the Parliament; and that, in accordance with this principle, if Your Majesty should withhold the Royal Assent to a Bill passed in Parliament, the Bill should thereafter be sent back to Parliament; and if the Parliament subsequently passes the Bill in substantially the same form, Your Majesty shall grant the Royal Assent.

2. And that Your Majesty shall immediately repudiate any right to issue legal documents of any kind without genuine countersignature; and that Your Majesty shall recognize that no such countersignature is valid unless it is of a minister responsible to Parliament for his actions, and subject to parliamentary dismissal.

3. And that Your Majesty shall immediately renounce and forsake the title of Supreme Governor of the Church of Hanover, and any power over or role in the said Church, which is hereafter to be a private organization without state sponsorship; and that the Bishopric of Kells shall be a separate but also private organization, not a part of the Church of Hanover, or a part of the state; and Your Majesty shall consign all powers formerly enjoyed by Your Majesty as Supreme Governor unto the Archbishop of Bergen, and the Bishop of Kells, respectively.

4. And that Your Majesty shall consider this Declaration, if accepted, to be legally binding for Your Majesty and Your Majesty's Government; and should Your Majesty violate the provisions of this Declaration, it shall constitute a voluntary abdication of Your Majesty's Throne.

In the event, however, that Your Majesty refuses to accept this Declaration, fails to accept it before the end of Saturday the 18th of July, or attempts to answer it through a lesser functionary rather than in person, we consider it our duty unto the historical traditions and ideals of Hanover to immediately renounce our citizenship and disassociate ourselves from Hanover, for as loyal Hanoverians, we cannot abide the abandonment of constitutional monarchy in this Kingdom.

"If retreating into the Ivory Tower and not giving a damn about what your people think is regality, then I say do away with it. This whole affair has made me a republican in any case.

Yours faithfully,
