(a) All persons are equal before the law, and shall enjoy equality of outcome under the law. (b) Organizations not operated for profit, whose primary purpose is the amelioration of discrimination as defined within this Code, shall not be found in contravention of the Code for granting preference to historically disadvantaged persons or groups, unless it can be demonstrated that such preference substantially and significantly offends the public interest. V. The Kundrati Human Rights Code guarantees these rights subject only to such exceptional limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
