VII.   Law

Censor is the term used to define the second most potentially powerful level and source of Official Power within any valid system of law. The power and authority of the Office of Censor is called Visium.

The word Censor comes from Latin censor meaning “senior judge, head curator (keeper of rolls of property), critic and auditor”.

By definition, a Censor implies more than one, usually an existing senior public official appointed by the people of a society possessing a valid system of law for a predetermined period of time which at its expiry results in the termination of their commission. The appointment of a Censor without an expiry of commission is expressly forbidden in all its forms.

The word Censor is equivalent to the words, ranks and positions of Elder, Visitor or Councilor. However, the word is not equivalent to hereditary or life appointment. Hereditary censorship is an abomination of all civilized law and expressly forbidden in all its forms.
