Speaking from experience: the latter version here is much better. The former would most likely either do nothing or allow the creation of arbitrary regularions, which would in turn most likely either do nothing or lead to a dictatorship scam. In a Monster-style rule, the most powerful effects effectively do nothing, because you can't link them up to things without risking them becoming overpowered. So limitations like Agoran Consent are the sort of thing you really want to snag while they're available. (As a side note, the Device becoming a person is likely to be almost inevitable, unless it self-destructs early. It has the sort of allure that you can't keep the Agoran public away from once it becomes possible.) -- ais523
