While I won't reject the act, the powers, authorities and functions of the Intelligence Agency Act (2014) should also be added to the exceptions underneath (5).

Some amendments:
- Add a line of spacing between each section and section header
- 'Cabinet' and 'Noble' should have speech marks around them
- " The number of nobles appointed to the Council may not exceed the number of members of the Cabinet." Should probably have its own section.

Done :)

I think we should change

" The number of nobles appointed to the Council may not exceed the number of members of the Cabinet."

to

"The number of nobles appointed to the Council may not be greater than or equal to the number of members of the Cabinet."
