Articles of Law

Article 29 - “Reichstag sessions are public. If fifty members apply and a majority of two thirds decide in favour, the public can be excluded.”
This passage assures the general public that a choice can be made and apposed if necessary.  It gives the people power and knowledge to know and understand that their voice will still be heard and acknowledged. 

Article 120 - “It is the supreme obligation and natural right of the parents to raise their offspring to bodily, spiritual and social fitness; the governmental authority supervises it.”
This article is to assure parents that they are responsible for their children by all means.  But this passage has a twist because it also assures the parent that they are under supreme supervision as well.   In other words, the government is watching the parents watching their children. 


The reason I chose these two passages is because it lines together with thought but still places fear.  One passage assures that the peoples voice can and will be heard, but will also be over thrown by votes if necessary.  The other passage shows strength in numbers.  It tells a story, meaning a parent can be a parent under government supervision.  But it also shows a cost.  Meaning, while using the word “authority” it places a person in a category of a child.  In my opinion, it forces an adult to become the child.
