The BR1J Constitution
A constitutional framework for DAO governance filed under Wyoming DAO LLC law — the first US jurisdiction to grant decentralized autonomous organizations full legal personhood. The constitution establishes seven foundational principles governing human-AI symbiosis, member rights, contribution taxonomy, dispute resolution, and the amendment process itself. It is a living document designed to be modified through its own on-chain mechanisms, ensuring that governance can evolve without requiring dissolution or reconstitution.

Why Wyoming?
Wyoming enacted the first US legislation recognizing DAOs as legal entities with limited liability protections, creating a clear regulatory framework where decentralized governance meets enforceable law. The BR1J Constitution leverages this to create a DAO that is not merely a set of smart contracts but a legally recognized organization whose members have real rights and whose agreements are enforceable in court.
What are the seven principles?
The foundational principles cover transparency of operations, democratic participation, equitable contribution recognition, human-AI collaborative decision-making, dispute resolution through graduated mechanisms, protection of minority member rights, and constitutional self-amendment. Each principle is encoded both as natural-language articles and as on-chain governance constraints that smart contracts must satisfy.
What is human-AI symbiosis governance?
AI agents participating in the network are recognized as contributing members with defined roles in governance — they can propose parameter changes, flag anomalies, and provide analysis — but cannot vote. Voting remains exclusively human. This creates a symbiotic governance model where AI augments human decision-making without replacing human authority, and where the boundary between AI advisory and human sovereignty is constitutionally enforced.
