Count Eckhard von Radnitz was an Englean politician and republican revolutionary, most notable for his leadership of the Englean Congressional Empire during the War of the Englean Diet. A supporter of the "liberal monarchism" idea by philosopher Joseph Gehring, von Radnitz worked during his period as Grand Elector of the Englean Reichstag to create a "system for the commonfolk" that would mirror Western Ventismarian constitutional monarchies. As a known supporter of republican ideals von Radnitz consistently was opposed by reigning emperor Albrecht I, who saw the elector as a threat towards the monarchial system of the nation. With the Radnitz Speech of 1746, the emperor had the elector placed under house arrest for a short amount of time before his release due to public disapproval. von Radnitz reached the peak of his career with the Mandate of 1748, declaring the Reichstag as the superior legislative body of the nation and stripping the monarch of nearly all legislative powers as well as removing the hereitary succession system in favour of a popular vote and approval of the Reichstag. Conflict between the monarch and the Reichstag resulted in the Mandate of 1749, declaring the removal of Albrecht as emperor and the foundation of the Congressional Empire under a liberal, democratic elected monarchy. The Mandate of 1749 resulted in the War of the Englean Diet.
