Mandate 3: Justifications
Justification is the backbone of any well-crafted bureaucratic edifice. Without it, even the most well-intentioned policies crumble like a poorly baked biscuit.
Subsection 18: The Art of Justification by Association
Justification by association: the art of making unrelated things seem connected by sheer force of will. A classic technique employed by our esteemed Mandate 3: Justifications Committee.
Example: "We're introducing a new law to regulate the sale of left-handed socks. It's clearly related to the national security implications of asymmetrical footwear."
Subsection 18/1: The Power of the Precedent
A well-crafted precedent can justify anything. Even the introduction of a new tax on right-handed socks.
