Description

A clause in the constitution that serves as a magical DIY kit, allowing incumbents to mix and match governance ingredients at dawn like breakfast cereal. It promises the thrill of spicing up the recipe of rule while masquerading as a call for justice. Outwardly democratic, it often harbors the seeds of a homemade coup. Usage example: Legislator A chants “In the name of the people,” all while sneakily appending a term-extension amendment to the constitution.
