But the only means of enforcing such a decree was a rebellion. There was no constitutional body that could peacefully depose one king and set up another. In fact, the successful removal of a tyrannical Sultan always implied the rise of a pretender with a superior military force at his back. The regular forces of the State were bound to obey the king \*de facto\* and not the \*ulema\* nor the council of ministers. - [Previous: c6.s1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s1.1) - [Next: c6.s1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s1.3) - [Up: c6.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c6.s1.2) · Pramāṇa
