Practice question
A group uses proved fraud to prevent a municipal council from meeting. They argue that Article143 requires force in every case. In a separate incident they actually interrupt the council’s proceedings. What distinction follows?
- Fraud can never fall within Article143
- Article143 includes force or fraud; Article144 separately addresses disturbance of proceedings
- Only an armed uprising can affect a council meeting
- Every interruption is excluded from the Code
- Both incidents necessarily concern excluded Article147
