Line 43:
The first Article of the Treaty gives expression to the right of the Crown to make laws and its obligation to govern in accordance with constitutional process. This sovereignty is qualified by the promise to accord the Maori interests specified in the second Article an appropriate priority.<ref>''Principles of the Treaty for Crown Action'', p 9</ref>}}
This principle describes the balance between articles 1 and 2: the exchange of sovereignty by the Māori people for the protection of the Crown. It was emphasised in the context of this principle that "the Government has the right to govern and make laws".<ref>''Principles of the Treaty for Crown Action'', p 7</ref> In a 1989 presentation about how the principles of The Treaty of Waitangi were intended to guide Crown action, [[Geoffrey Palmer (politician)|Geoffrey Palmer]] noted: "The First and Second Articles of the Treaty are both strong statements which necessarily qualify one another. Kawanatanga is subject to a promise to protect rangatiratanga. Rangatiratanga is subject to an acknowledgement of kawanatanga."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Geoffrey |first=Palmer |author-link=Geoffrey Palmer (politician) |date=7 July 1989 |editor1-last=Prebble |editor1-first=John |editor2-last=Crawford |editor2-first=Allegra |editor3-last=Lincoln |editor3-first=Laura |title=The Treaty of Waitangi - principles for Crown action |url=https://archive.org/details/principles-for-crown-action |url-status=live |archive-url=http://archive.today/2024.03.21-010937/https://archive.org/details/principles-for-crown-action |archive-date=21 March 2024 |access-date=21 March 2024 |website=Victoria University of Wellington |type=Collected Papers by the Right Honourable Sir Geoffrey Palmer QC Part VI Constitutional Law, Government and Reform.
