Hampton Court Council API

The Hampton Court Protocol — a Council of AIs for the Curation of Law. Every codified law evaluated against eight ethical principles derived from Revelation 21:8. Each law receives a KEEP, AMEND, or REMOVE verdict, a one-sentence plain-language explanation, principle-by-principle scores, and assignment to one of five curated lists (Green, Yellow, Red, Dead Letter, Conflict).

Verdicts and frameworks are public endpoints — no authentication required. Submitting laws for evaluation requires authentication.

POST/api/v1/council/evaluate
