Popularity makes no law invulnerable to invalidation. Americans accept judicial supervision of their
democracy - judicial review of popular but possibly unconstitutional statutes - because they know that if
the Constitution is truly to constitute the nation, it must trump some majority preferences George Will

Introduction
he motivation for this paper was driven by two conflicting responses of our Owners Association. First
is tolerating the outright vioation of the statutes
by our builder AWHO and total helplessness or inaction
to bring to book the offender within the laws of the land.
Second, going out of the way to enforce many outrightly
illegal steps on the owners that are specifically mandated
not to be done by the rule of law. Both are failure of
fiduciary duties on the part of the Owners Association.
Failure to seek protection of the laws for the members is
a failure in fiduciary duties. So is, failure to respect the
right of the members and thus failing in ones own duties
to respect these rights. I will dwell on these two failures
extensively in this paper. The goal of the paper is to seek
protection of the rights of the members of the society and
the citizens. Failure to protect is failure of duty on the
part of the Association and when a fiduciary fails in this,
it is viewed more seriously than when an ordinary citizen
fails.

the ground that it causes some convenience or
advantage.

4. Even violation of the funamental rights are committed by the members of the MC rather than the poor

5. Petty thievery is punishable with few weeks of imprisonment where as obstructing public streets and
violating the fundamental right of the labor is punishable with 3 years of RI.
6. Committing a serious crime for sure to possibly
eliminate a potential petty crime in the name of
scurity is patently irrational, stupid and flawed.
In view of the above, all of the restrictions and
regulations imposed currently are against the rule of law.
More importantly, to conclude that we will follow law on
minimum wages (a major reason purported to majorly
increase the MMC) but NOT other risks of breaking the
rule of law other than minimum wages laws is fundamentally flawed. Even there,
1. Number of hours of duty is limited to 8 hours.
