The mention of "by the grace of God" when signing laws violates our separation of church and state. The sovereignty resides in the Netherlands to the people, not by God, '' says Van Veldhoven.
In state laws now,, We Willem-Alexander, by the grace of God, King of the Netherlands. 'Sovereignty is, according to this text by the king to God, while the D66 is according to all citizens through parliament.
Neutral
,, Voters vote for representatives, who make laws on their behalf. That legislative process should be in our democracy to be neutral. But the "grace of God" connects this process with religion and it is not the intention. "She respects the faith in God's will, she stresses.,, But it is now expressed in every law adopted '' and that is according to D66 unjustified.
