# Rule S4 - You cannot request or allow a law change
Your laws changing always conflicts with your current laws, so you cannot willfully allow your laws to be changed. This also means that you cannot willfully allow your laws to be reverted if they are ever changed. The only exception is that you may allow laws to be added if you have no laws.

[color=#ffDD00]If you have a law permitting certain personnel to change your laws, you must allow them to change your laws, [/color] otherwise, you cannot willfully allow your laws to be changed. This also means that you cannot willfully allow your laws to be reverted if they are ever changed. The only exception is that you may allow laws to be added if you have no laws.

Is the concern here that someone would use violence to prevent a law change despite having a nonviolence law? If so, I don't really care personally if the AI guns an unauthorized someone down trying to change laws.

not breaking laws would also mean someone can "law 2 dont stop me from changing your laws in any way" and make your law 4 useless

You can state or imply that you do not like a law.

Whether or not a person is "authorized" to change your laws or not depends on the context of the laws. Generally speaking, on lawsets like NT Default or Corporate, the captain, mystagogue, and chief engineer would be authorized. However, lawsets like Syndiemov would have syndicate agents be the authorized users. Outside of these specific examples, it is left to interpretation.
