`WS`, being a Republic, enforces the Rule of Law; which is that the law applies equally to all and no individual is above the law and every individual has an equal claim to the enforcement of their sovereignty over their private property. To give force to this principle, a `WS` government is permitted to provide redistributive and subsidy programs to pursue the following goal only:
- Access to legal representation services for plaintiffs and defendants who can't afford representation. When an individual suffers a loss, their financial position should not be their primary concern when deciding whether or not to seek redress in court.
- This shall not be construed to antagonize private legal service providers.
- This shall not be construed as a justification to attempt to equalize disparities in outcome caused by differences in the quality and skill of legal representatives.
- This shall not be construed to antagonize or invalidate private legal service providers, whether private prosecutors or defenders.
- This shall not be construed as a justification to attempt to equalize disparities in outcome caused by differences in the quality and skill of legal representation.
Government shall pass no law, bye-law or other form of policy seeking to redistribute/subsidize in order to pursue "equality", whether equality of opportunity or outcome, with the sole exception of the goal stated above.
