Amendments

Add an amendment: “Human dignity shall be inviolable and shall be respected and protected by all…”

Human dignity shall be inviolable and shall be respected and protected by all institutions of the State. | All political power derives from the people and shall be exercised only through democratic, transparent, and accountable government. | All persons are equal before the law, and the State shall prohibit discrimination and uphold equal rights and opportunity for all people.

Human Dignity, Sovereignty and Equality: This Amendment establishes the fundamental principles upon which a free and just society is built: the protection of human dignity, the sovereignty of the people, and equality before the law. By recognizing dignity as inviolable, it places the individual at the center of constitutional order and limits the abuse of state power. By affirming that all political authority derives from the people, it strengthens democratic legitimacy, accountability, and transparency in governance. By guaranteeing equality and prohibiting discrimination, it ensures that rights and opportunities are protected for all people regardless of status, origin, identity, or belief. Together, these principles create a constitutional foundation for democracy, justice, and social stability.
