Judicial System
Within the court systems, every person is guaranteed a fair trial by their peers. Any person is allowed to waive this right and request a summary judgment if preferred.
An additional function of the courts is to ensure that the Archon and High Council's rulings are just and fair to the people. If they believe that something is outside of their power or places unnecessary strain on the people, they may call for a vote from the people. If it passes by 70%, it will be repealed.
