Hi guys, I have a question: Is one purpose of the Blockspace Charters to define the main guidelines that OP Stack-based chains should follow? Understanding that each Blockspace Charters will package the different processes for chains based on OP Stack and in this way provide more structure through its 3 components: Criteria, Governing Policies and Precommitments. But I don’t understand how it relates to the section that says: > [@system](#): > > This makes the Law of Chains analogous to the [Working Constitution of the Optimism Collective](https://gov.optimism.io/t/working-constitution-of-the-optimism-collective/55). It defines the guiding principles for the Collective’s governance, but it does not define the specific mechanisms of voting cycles, quorums, and so forth. Blockspace Charters are the equivalent to the [Operating Manual](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/OPerating-manual/blob/main/manual.md), providing the specific implementation details for different types of Superchain blockspace. Please can someone help me solve them. Thank you. --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.optimism.io/t/season-6-introducing-blockspace-charters-superchain-first-governance/8133)._
