When one group has the legal maxium "rex non potest peccare," it separates people into a class that can act with impunity and one over which hangs the threat of death, those being sovereignty and everyone else.
There isn't going to be a series of royal journal entries that state, "We insist on the death penalty to keep us in power," so this is going to be one of those conversations where one side will claim that there is evidence of the implication and one who says, "that's not enough evidence to support that claim." So, I'm not too sure if you'ld still like to continue, but it's a legitimate discussion to have even if one side can't definitively win because it can help us critique instances of sovereign immunity or things that approach sovereign immunity today.
