Perhaps this bill was submitted to parliament with the support of Prime Minister Prim? If both Prime Minister Prim and Duke Serrano support this bill, what can they do?
Duke Jacopo also persuaded some of the aristocrats at Carlo's behest, resulting in several days of parliamentary voting and the aristocrats not reacting too strongly during this time.
After discovering that the aristocrats did not react strongly, Prime Minister Prim finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the aristocrats certainly still had grievances, they hadn't escalated to the point of causing upheaval.
As long as the aristocrats don't make significant moves, once the bill is passed by parliament, they will have no choice but to grudgingly accept it.
Moreover, the bill targets not only the aristocrats but also the Church, which possesses large amounts of land.
While Prime Minister Prim pays some heed and concern to the aristocrats, he does not have the same patience for the Church.
