how extremely extremely interesting Do you know any more about this ealier draft?

As for Aragorn, there are, es explained by many in this topic, a lot of reasons to think he would be a good king. But most are based on what he did before he was king. Maybe a gudgement on his political qualities canbe made by looking at his time as King of Gondor.
How much is known about Aragorn's rulership once has was on the Throne of Gondor? All I could find on this is that he Reunited Arnor and Gondor, but i know nothing of the political matters surrounding this case. (I have no quotes, but some of this matter is described in the Encyclopedia of Arda, http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default...dyofrohan.html)
Also thee is mention that he enforces a law that forbids men to enter the shirt, (and obeyed this law himself)
How much else is known about Aragorns actions while he was king?

((please forgive me my spelling mistakes or ill structures sentences, I am still learning english))
