The King, the courts and the rules above the rules, sentence 8

Who acts: King, decisions, constitutional monarchy, rules · What happens: stay, not vote, not say, support, be, limit · To what, where: party, one, powers · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «The King, the courts and the rules above the rules» of the politics course of Mova's primary school.

The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
