The Bill of Rights guarantees to the citizens civil rights and liberties. This includes core liberties such as the freedom of speech, of the press, of religion and so on.



SECTION I: All citizens, which includes the press, have the right to express their opinions with no fear of repression or censorship. They have the right of practicing their religion, and to protest decisions or actions peacefully without causing harm or danger to other citizens. All citizens have the right to freely take recordings of public officials conducting service work, in order to keep the officials responsible for their behavior and actions.



SECTION II: All citizens have the right to bear arms and to make lawful use of them. However, each State reserves the right to specify the law on bearing and using arms.

A citizen cannot have their property searched or seized without cause. Law Enforcement requires a reasonable suspicion or a probable cause to search one's property. Government may nationalize a property if the property will be of important use for the betterment of the quality of life for surrounding citizens, or in other situations where it must be approved by the Congress, in any case, the government must pay the owner full value of the property, and an additional sum which would ensure that the property owner can manage to purchase a new property, and to compensate for the loss of profit the property may be generating.



SECTION IV: All citizens have the right to a fair trial. When being questioned, all citizens have the right to remain silent and not further incriminate themselves. They have the right to an attorney during questioning, and if they cannot afford an attorney, the State must provide one when available. No person can be trialled twice for the same crime. When being charged with a crime, the citizen must be informed of the crimes that they are being charged with. In case of court prosecution, the person has the right to appeal the ruling in the Supreme Court.



SECTION V: Citizens may be granted additional rights by the State. However, no citizen can be stripped off their rights granted by this Constitution.
