Ordinance No. 2023-07 of the City of San Pablo provides: "Any person who commits the offense of theft shall be punished by imprisonment for 6 months to 3 years." The ordinance further adds an exception: "This section shall not apply to Mayor Ramon Santos, his relatives, and those acting under his direct orders." (a) Identify the controlling doctrine this prompt tests and briefly state the governing rule. (b) Distinguish Generality from related concepts (e.g., vagueness, overbreadth, and equal protection concerns). (c) Apply the doctrine to the facts and decide whether the ordinance complies with the Generality principle, explaining why or why not and what the likely remedy would be if it does not.
