Law Stewardship protects resources for future generations.

Explanation Stewardship extends responsibility beyond the present. Decisions made today shape the options available tomorrow. Future generations are part of the lawful community.

Standard Use must not compromise long-term availability. Care includes teaching, restraint, and renewal. Short-term benefit cannot outweigh future harm.

Effect Lawful stewardship sustains continuity across generations. Failure of stewardship burdens those who come after. Law remains alive through protection of future capacity.
