Continuing the discussion from TYTthon Instance #2: Reconstruction Era Amendments:
Using decorators as wrappers for legislation
Although I was already familiar (recently, though) with the concept of Incorporation Doctrine, I have to admit that this concept, incorporation doctrine through [law]wrapping, came to my mind when reminiscing and re-reading this discussion Trump Bible in which both sides @drea_m_r_76 and @billyfoppiano came to an agreement on the historical semantic labels of those portions of the constitution. Since I gravitate to the fourth wall and to thinking in solutions, it came to me following:
In Python, wrappers are called decorators and it is just an agreed-upon abstraction to describe when a function wraps another, or in this case a law provisions wrapping another. I am not setting a final word on how to execute these, I am just giving out ideas on how an abstraction of these sorts (one that was not available at the time when the constitution was signed) could be beneficial, although, a six hat analysis is always recommended.
For this instance, it would go like this (just a lame draft to portray the abstraction):
the symbol agreed upon for decorator in python is @ but it does not have to be this one necessarily:
@Amendment14_Section1 def Bill_Of_Rights
{
Amendment1, Amendment2, Amendment3,# etc
}
