There are two classes. The Haves and The Have Nots. The Haves of yore created a document that enshrines the rights of The Haves, the same document creates a system of judgement that refers to the enshrined rights of The Haves when deciding matters of conflict between The Haves and The Have Nots. Infighting between The Haves is largely inconsequential, they’ll never infringe on the sovereign rights of The Haves. Infighting between The Have Nots is also largely inconsequential, they don’t have the ability within the system to infringe on the sovereign rights of The Haves.
The constitution solely exists to safeguard the sovereign rights of The Haves against the encroachment of The Have Nots.
