Guy had a talent for legislation, but had zero social process skills. Basically the Delegate couldn't go to the toilet without permission from the off-site government. Looking back I think this was F&P's way of running the Delegacy by proxy - there was no chance of him ever becoming elected Delegate, mainly because he was intensely disliked by the majority of TWP members.
The Dominion came next - Neenee seized the Delegacy, supported by Biyah and Zeta One. The Dominion lasted about a week before Neenee resigned and Berm took back the Delgacy. He instituted a Council of Reconciliation (of which I was a member) to try and find the root cause of the coup and look for ways to re-unite the region. Biyah basically plea bargained Neenee and Zeta out of trial, saying he alone was behind the coup. He then stood trial, more than ably defended by Enegro Montoya, who got him off. Used TWP's laws and constitution to clear him.
The result was a constitutional crisis - the formation of the second constitution was in reality a battle between those who wanted total off-site control of the Delegacy (F&P and a few others) and those who wanted the role to have more freedom. The result was a stalemate, broken by the appearance of the Triumvirate - Eli, TAO and Biyah. Eli ejected quite a few high endo nations from TWP (including myself) and brought in Vlagh (Ivan Moldavi) and Unistrut to form a new government. Their involvement caused Biyah to join the Government in Exile under Shasoria. We then had about 9 months of negotiation to reunite the region. The Third Constitution gave the Delegate independence from the off-site government and that has been pretty much the case ever since.
This isn't anything different than what I wrote, I just didn't think the particulars of each constitutional crisis would be that relevant to an article mostly about modern day TWP.
