User:Mikcob/legislative entrenchment

legislative entrenchment is the attempt of a sitting legislature to insulate its acts from repeal or alteration by subsequent legislatures. legislative entrenchment should not be confused with constitutional entrenchment in which super-majorities are required to enact laws that cannot be altered by sitting legislatures. In the case of the United States Constitution, Article V describes the proper manner in which entrenchment may be enacted. In social reality, all laws are subject to change by any society as that society adopts moral codes over time. Laws are the formalization if morals. The word "moral" is from the Latin "moralis", which derives from the Latin "mores" which means "of manner and custom".
