Usian children are taught that branches of our peculiar Constitutional government exist in balance of mutually assured inspection. As if the sovereign were some finely-tuned, self-contained, perpetual-motion machine, ticking onward in clockwork equilibrium.

Conflation of branches with estates feeds this imaginary.

Yet estates of the Usian realm are not said branches, instead acting each to contend and collude with the others in tensegrity across said branches.

Such tensions brought us to now.
