Under this This constitution is a means to an end, and not an end unto itself. The end goal is individual private property sovereignty. If at any point collectivist tyranny has arisen from within due to the neverending labours of the collectivists within the polity, it is legitimate for the residents of the polity to overthrow the political order of that day and re-establish a form of government which will again assert and enforce the private property sovereignty of the individual. At such a time the principle of legitimacy is as simple as this: the faction which meets the following two requirements shall have the right to claim legitimacy to overthrow the government and install a new government. -- The faction must have a complete, publicly published and well disemanated constitution which asserts and enforces the private property sovereignty of the individual. This constitution need not be remarkably original. It can consist of this existing `WS` constitution with some amendments. +- The faction must have a complete, publicly published and well disemanated constitution which asserts and enforces the private property sovereignty of the individual. This constitution need not be remarkably original. It may consist of this existing `WS` constitution with some amendments. - The faction must already be actively serving the residents of the polity by asserting and enforcing their private property sovereignty against the tyranny of the government of that era. This constitution preserves the right of residents to keep and bear arms subject to the terms outlined in the "Possession of private weaponry" section, in order to enable such factions to arise and serve their fellow residents and amass reputation and credibility and build legitimacy. This should serve both as a means to discourage the government from becoming tyrannical by ensuring that it will clearly see its rival rising and hopefully reform itself; and also as a means to ensure that such a rival has the room required to establish itself should it be needed.
