And now that the constitution has been suspended, it means the Kingdom of Hanover has once again become the King's private property; whatever Ernst I wants to do in Hanover is his own domestic affair, and it is hardly this former University of Gottingen Academic Director's place to play the meddlesome dog catching rats.
Moreover, judging from his posture, suspending the constitution is only the first step; when the time is ripe, Ernst I may well go on to declare the constitution unconstitutional, thereby completely abolishing this codex he regards as a stumbling block.
As the old friend of the Hanoverian people and the old leader of the University of Gottingen, Arthur at this moment can only silently pray for his former colleagues and students, praying that they can remain as calm as possible, because if their protests become too intense, given Ernst I's character, sending in the police to suppress them would already count as a mild and conciliatory response.
