What the people have last enacted, let that be the established law.

Explanation

The will of the People, expressed through their most recent lawful act, supersedes all prior enactments — the sovereign People always retain the power to alter their law.

Where this applies

• A conflict arises between an older law and a newer one passed by the people.
• The people pass a new law and the government tries to apply the old one instead.
