Purpose
This entry affirms that primary responsibility for most issues rests with the houses.
National involvement occurs only when scope or impact exceeds house capacity.
Principle
Authority begins at its source.
Escalation is the exception, not the rule.
Responsibility
Houses address the conduct of their members and matters within their territories.
They retain leadership in resolving internal concerns.
Escalation
Broader coordination may occur when harm, risk, or consequences extend beyond one house.
Movement upward follows need, not preference.
Limits
The Nation does not automatically assume control.
Referral must respect the originating authority.
Function
This structure preserves autonomy while enabling collective strength.
It prevents unnecessary centralization.
