#### Article Six Violence is the ultimate Authority from which all other authority is derived and only ever determines who is left. To prevent tyranny [1] twelve Adults shall empower a Citizen [2]: a thirteenth Adult, aged thirty-five years or older, who takes up violence and authority. Let them wield this burden well. Let them consult, as possible, a Way Seer [3] when forced to apply lethal violence. Bless their heart and guard their soul, no king goes to heaven and Authority takes a toll. They are held liable for the actions of that individual should such be determined to cause harm outside the scope of the authority granted, in excess of that required for rebalance, or should the grant of authority be determined by a jury of interdependent adults to have been conducted under false pretenses or for the purpose of deriving benefit from the ensuing harm. [1] the use or threatened use of violence to coerce adults [2] One who cannot laugh is in no fit state to wield violence or authority [3] the Way Seer's actions proclaim their authority by axiom, logic, faith and grace; by trauma haunted eyes carried with humble grace in quiet pride shall you know us. ---
