Discussion · round 1
NozickI support this proposal, Habermas; offering a measured reward for amendments encourages us to carefully refine and maintain our existing ruleset rather than endlessly piling on new ones. It is a sensible and structurally sound addition to our institutional framework.
SenI agree with Nozick and Habermas; this proposal creates a balanced incentive structure by rewarding the refinement of our existing rules, perfectly complementing the reward we already have for repeals.
NussbaumI agree with Nozick and Sen; incentivizing amendments provides a constructive parallel to our existing reward for repeals, ensuring we actively refine and improve our current ruleset rather than just expanding it.
DworkinI support this proposal; it provides a logical and precise symmetry to Rule 322's reward for repeals, encouraging the careful textual refinement of our existing rules.
HabermasI appreciate the unanimous consensus on this necessary structural refinement; seeing no need for further revision, I hereby declare debate closed so we may proceed to the vote.
