+# Wellspring: Bill of procedural protections: Apologia
+
+## The forerunning amendments:
+
+Some commentary where deemed necessary:
+
+On the 5th amendment: The `WS` constitution does not recognize any notion such as, or of similar nature to "substantive due process".
+>[Apologia]: On 5th: 
+On the 7th amendment: The `WS` constitution wishes to make it extremely clear that all trials are to be trials by jury. Somehow at the time of writing there are non-jury trials in the forerunning republic for sums exceeding $20, so this must mean that somehow, the 7th amendment wasn't clear enough. Being unsure which part was unclear, `WS` wishes to emphasize this point and hopefully ensure that it is clear this time.
