- bogdan 9mo agoI'm sorry but how is this relevant? Or did you just recently learn this and thought it's "interesting" to share?
- Pet_Ant 9mo agoThey want to have rigorous well-indexed system for the people in a country, when the system of the country isn't rigorous. When your constitution is ad hoc, it seems only fair that everything else is. Start with the foundation before formalising everything else.
