The more I think on this the more it feels like a deepity. It might be the *result* of a rule is to consolidate power, but “point” implies intent.
Is the proposition you’re trying to make about the rule, the impact, or the intent of the rule-makers?

Just as the point of a constitution is often to consolidate sovereignty through a state of exception.
