If there is an appropriate "constitution" for the class, all the objectives, rules, regulations, as well as the way in which the class is governed, and the directions that the class can move, etc is all spelled out in black and white. If the constitution is written correctly it becomes the total "protection" of the goals, ideals, dimensions, motivations etc of the "class" and makes it "safe" from ANY one or group who may try to "sabotage" it, either from within or without. It also provides the foundation means for the class to grow and proliferate. Any "association without an appropriate constitution, tends to become disjointed, arbitary, and often will eventually tear itself apart through conflicting direction opinions.
