Request For Clarification On Addendums And Modifications Of Existing Resolutions

I started reading the existing resolutions, and I have noticed glaring holes in a few of them.

For example, resolution 14 would ban children from working in a family farm, which is more than a little absurd.

Can a resolution be modified in place, or does the resolution have to first be repealed and then a new resolution voted on to allow the changes to take place?

If the resolution must first be repealed, then there is a definite concern that a clarification needed in the resolution would result in the complete loss of the intent of the clarification as well as the loss of the original resolution.

THanks in advance.

You can't amend proposals. Period. You can't add on, you can't adjust, you can't edit. If you want to change an existing Proposal, you have to Repeal it first.

It's due to coding issues, namely how do you determine what effect an amendment would have on a nation's stats.
