The first question also relates to whether it is consistent with accepted democratic principles for such a continuing legislature to undertake a programme of constitutional reform.  The process of initiating and producing constitutional reform requires extensive analysis and public discussion inside and outside the legislature. In many constitutional traditions the process of constitutional reform requires a specific mandate for a constitutional assembly or requires special elections before the adoption of the changes. That process is beyond the scope of a continuing caretaker authority. Such a continuing authority with limited capacity cannot use that capacity to turn itself into a constitutional assembly.
