WE,

THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION – ALL FREE, SOJOURNING ON THE LAND,

Both those who believe in The Creator of the Balanced Universe as the source of truth, justice, good and beauty as well as those not sharing such faith but respecting those universal values as arising from other sources, both having Una-LIEN-able and inherint rights, Liberties, and Duty toward the common good of ALL Man and his Kind;

We are Beholden to our ancestors who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors for their labors, their struggle, for independence achieved at great sacrifice, for our culture rooted in the integrated heritage of the Nation and in universal human values,

Their blood still cries up to the Creator to fulfill the prophecy in which it had been shed, leaving We the Posterity Obliged to bequeath to future generations all that is valuable from our labours and sacrifices,

Bound in community with our compatriots dispersed throughout the world,

Aware of the need for cooperation with all countries for the good of the Human Family,

Mindful of the bitter experiences of the times when fundamental freedoms and human rights were violated in our Motherlands and Fatherlands,

Desiring to guarantee the rights of the Luxtonians for all time, and to ensure diligence and efficiency in the work of public bodies,

Recognizing our responsibility before God or our own consciences,

HEREBY ESTABLISH THIS CONSTITUTION OF THE NATION OF LUXTON AS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, based on respect for freedom and justice, cooperation between the public powers, social dialogue as well as on the principle of subsidiarity in the strengthening of the powers of Luxtonians and their communities.

We INVOKE the favor of the Ineffible, and all POWERS subservient to it, protecting us and upon all those who will apply their thumbprint to this Constitution for the good of the Nation to do so paying respect to the inherent dignity of the person, his, or her right to freedom, the obligation of solidarity with others, and respect for these principles as the unshakable foundation of Luxton.
