Proposal for an incremental Constitution and Dapp layer governance on EOS

in eos •  6 years ago 

If the Constitution was designed to be vague as you say - then it has succeeded.

No - those are your words. I won't respond to that strawman, instead better to concentrate on what I said:

Your implied criticism of the Constitution that there aren't the stated actions of enforcement e.g., Article I. That's exactly how it should be. ...

A founding document such as that in EOS should always be brief and principled. Elsewise nobody will read it and understand it.

'Your implied criticism of the Constitution that there aren't the stated actions of enforcement e.g., Article I. That's exactly how it should be.' Yes, I took this to mean vague.

I guess by making them brief and principled it actually creates a job for you guys...

  • i.e. to interpret their meaning on everyone's behalf?

A group of people with expertise in this will no doubt emerge regardless of how it is written. But, better a clear, short readable document of principles that the community can understand and get involved with if it needs to ... than an indeciferable code that results in a guild to protect their secret wisdom.
