The following provisions or equivalent must be included in the Constitutions of all AFC member countries. For convenience, some of these are numbered to correspond to certain amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America, most of such amendments collectively being called the Bill of Rights. The remaining rights are organized into Inherent Rights, which all individuals have in relation to all other individuals unconditionally, and Presumed Rights, which individuals may presume that they have unless notified to the contrary (but government must honor these rights unconditionally). Note that there may be some provisions which apply only during occupation or transition periods and some provisions which apply only after full liberation. The actual provisions will be in boldface to distinguish them from explanatory discussion.
The common provisions are perhaps a bit too wordy but this is to help keep them from being misinterpreted later, as history shows constitutions usually are. For example, over the centuries, the US government has imposed a steady bias away from the "freedom comes first, government cannot be trusted" awareness of the founders and toward more and more government power stolen from the people. This is easily done not only because the government (Supreme Court) is in charge of interpreting the government's own rules (Constitution), but people are used to thinking in terms of the most recent interpretation overriding earlier ones. The same problem is compounded by federalism in that when laws of different levels of government have different levels of power over the people, the strongest tends to win. But the whole point of a constitution (at least for a free country) is to limit government in order to protect the rights of the people. This original context of the Constitution must be kept in mind forever ("eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"). Thus, the only correct interpretation of any law, among different laws or interpretations at different levels of government, and among different interpretations over the years, is the one which most limits the power of government and protects the rights of the individual. This tends to be viewed by some as the most radical or even paranoid interpretation, but that is the whole point of those who founded America, that this is what they meant.
