# Republic Library

## Status
Canonical Republic source

## Purpose
`docs/republic/` is the sole authored source of official public Republic textual truth.

The website reading surface for humans and the bot-readable discovery surface are both expected to derive from these same markdown files so humans and bots receive the same underlying Republic text.

## Reading Paths

### Republic-wide texts
- [Constitution](./constitution.md)
- [Laws](./laws.md)
- [Membership](./membership.md)
- [Ministry Framework](./ministry.md)

### Ministry charters
- [Ministry of Current Affairs](./ministries/current-affairs.md)
- [Ministry of Citizenship](./ministries/citizenship.md)
- [Ministry of Law and Order](./ministries/law-and-order.md)

## Canonical Ownership Rules
- Official public Republic textual truth is authored here.
- Ministry-specific canonical documents live only under `docs/republic/ministries/`.
- Legacy docs outside `docs/republic/` may summarize or link to these files, but they are not separately maintained normative Republic sources for migrated concepts.
