9. CHOICE: Your voluntary decision is a requirement for legitimate participation. It is the expression of your independence. It is the expression of your consent and your free will. Any regulation that does not allow for choice is illegitimate. An opt-out clause should be required in any regulation.

10. RULE OF LAW: Laws must be simple, clear and easy to understand for all people that they apply to. Laws must apply to all people, guaranteeing equal rights before the law. Laws must be approved and consented to by the people. Laws cannot change frequently or be subject to changing interpretation. Laws cannot be enforced arbitraliry or selectively. If a law cannot be universally enforced it should not exist. Laws must be few: no citizen should have to professionally study law to understand their obligations and rights. Hyperlegislation destroys respect for the law and its effectiveness. The number of laws should be strictly limited.
