Draft organic laws
The texts that turn the principles of the Social Contract into rules of law: autonomy, a fixed mandate, a budget of their own and a duty to account.
Example: fighting corruption
An anti-corruption chain that no longer depends on the executive
Today the ULCC investigates, but it remains an administrative body under government supervision. When an investigation targets a sitting minister, the executive can shut it down. The three draft laws below make each link in the chain autonomous and connect the investigation to the trial.
