CoN 3: Resolution I

Background
With the Council being excessively Catholic, tensions arose regarding diplomatic relations with the Member-State of Crimea, being a Sunni in an unquestionably Catholic Council. Tensions would go on to deteriorate to the point of the drafting of Resolution I, which, if accepted by the Council, would restrict the Council to only Christian nations as member-states. The Resolution would be drafted in 1451, with voting taking place later that year.

Text of the Resolution
ON THE QUESTION OF THE FAITH OF THE COUNCIL;

21 DEC 1451;

SHOULD THE COUNCIL ALLOW NON-CHRISTIANS TO BE MEMBER STATES

YEA: ONLY CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS MAY BE MEMBER STATES OF THE COUNCIL.

NAY: THE COUNCIL WILL REMAIN OPEN TO ALL RELIGIONS

ABSTAIN

Official Vote
The Official Vote of the Council was as follows;

Yea: 5

Nay: 1

Abstain: 1 Final Verdict: Vote Passes. Only Christian Religious Denominations may be member states of the Council.

Aftermath
Following the vote, Resolution I was put into effect. This resolution effectively reinforced Religious influence on the Council. Crimea was evicted from its seat in the Council following Resolution I. The Council was now 100% Catholic. However, Crimea was still seen as a useful adversary to the Italian Republic of Florence, who would go on to draft the 1st Treaty of Firenze.
