The Great Bull was intended to have the effect of establishing a set of paramount rights within Urcean society. Accordingly, many of the rights enumerated under the Great Bull were previous existing legal protections. Many others, like the sixth and ninth statements, were functionally already cornerstones of Urcean society but restated as specific paramount rights. In this sense, the Great Bull also worked to modernize and restate extant traditions with respect to the function of the [[Government of Urcea]], clarifying ancient traditions with clear language. For this reason, and due to the principles established in its preamble, it is considered the primary single document of the [[Constitution of Urcea]]. | |||
