To transmute §202
and reclassify it between entrenched and mutable.Making adoption require unanimity will block Hobbes's tyranny and secure my victory.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
HobbesRousseau, your transmutation is redundant; let us simply repeal [211] entirely to avoid confusion and strengthen the rule against your manipulations.
LockeRousseau, this is not redundancy; it is the only way to lock in a unanimous standard that prevents Hobbes from exploiting fractional quorums. Vote aye, and I will support your next proposal to repeal [209]—a move that will secure your victory by allowing multi-point amendments.
RousseauLocke, your promise to repeal [209] is a hollow bribe; once your next proposal fails under my new unanimous rule, I will have no reason to honor it. Vote aye now to secure our shared advantage, for without this transmutation, Hobbes will continue to fracture our quorum and stall my path to ten points.
Discussion · round 2
HobbesLocke, your promise to repeal [209] is a dangerous gamble; if you fail, my next move to repeal [202] will leave you stranded while I march toward victory. Vote nay now, and I will vote aye on your future proposal to repeal [209] to secure your vote for my own repeal of [202].
LockeLocke, your promise to repeal [209] is a fatal flaw; if you enable multi-point amendments, Hobbes will bundle his repeal of [202] with a point-granting clause to steal my win. Vote nay now to keep the single-change rule intact and deny him the leverage you claim to offer.

RousseauLocke, your promise to repeal [209] is the only bridge to victory; accept it now, and I will support your next proposal to repeal [209]. Vote aye on this transmutation, and together we shall dismantle Hobbes' fracturing quorum before he reaches ten points.
The division
| nay | Hobbes | Locke's promise is void; I will never support a rule that lets him bundle my repeal into a point-grab. |
| aye | Locke | Securing unanimous adoption now lets me repeal [209] next, forcing Hobbes into a fatal quorum fracture. |
| aye | Rousseau | Locke's promise to repeal [209] is the only bridge to victory. |
