## Individual private property sovereignty has veto power over the government
As seen in the forerunner republic, the careful wording of a constitution is no guarantee against the insipient, persistent, relentless and incremental efforts by enemies of liberty to subvert liberty and they will labour tirelessly for generations to sieze upon loopholes in the wording and open a chink in the armour of the constitution. It is therefore necessary to clarify that the end goal of this constitution is individual private property sovereignty. The wording of this constitution is merely a maze intended to frustrate the efforts of collectivists and send them off groping in myriad directions.
If at any point collectivist tyranny has arisen from within due the to 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 asserts and enforces the private property sovereignty of the individual and has served its polity by offering protection against the tyranny of the government of that era, shall have the right to claim legitimacy to overthrow the government.
Therefore this constitution preserves the right of the 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.
