I like this formulation. I don't even want to think the thought that
later changes to the consitutions makes it self-contradicting. Manoj's
proposal was of course not self-contradicting but sometime somebody
will propose to change 4.1.2 to require 10:1 majority to change the
Constitution without changing the propper part of 4.1.5.
The above formulation does prove the equallity of the Social
Contract/DFSG and the Constitution. Splitting SC and DFSG seems right
to me. We do mean different things when we're mentioning them. That
the SC referes to DFSG is not a problem.
