Witness
Witnesses observe, remember, and affirm the legitimacy of actions taken.
Public recognition protects against private or coerced decisions.
Restraint
Authority is exercised carefully and within limits.
Not every power that can be used should be used.
Limits

Decisions made without restraint risk imbalance.
Function
