Emil Lederer · 1920
Emil Lederer’s 1920 commission speaking turn on coal mining addresses voting procedure. His brief intervention presents voting by Kurien—separate constituent groups—as necessary to prevent the outcome from depending on chance:
Das ist noch die Frage, ob nicht nach Kurien abgestimmt wird, was man wird machen müssen, weil man es nicht dem Zufall anheim geben kann.
English translation: The question still remains whether voting should be by curiae, which will have to be done because it cannot be left to chance.
The remark moves from an unresolved procedural question to an assertion of necessity. Its significance lies in linking decision-making to institutional safeguards; it does not specify the groups or voting rules.
