B.3. Retained Sovereignty

The Citizens retain the Civic Power to revoke, reform, or reassign the delegation of specific Powers through the Constitutional means defined in this Charter. Nothing in this Charter shall be construed to deny the inherent Sovereign Power of the People to act when no legal remedy remains and the constitutional order has failed in its duty to protect the Rights of the People. This clause does not abrogate the rule of law, but affirms that lawful government endures only through the continuing consent and authority of the People. However, to be legitimate, the Citizens, in the exercise of their Sovereignty, must establish Consent by recording the decisive will of the People.
