Recognizing that every human being possesses inherent dignity, independent of nationality, ancestry, wealth, religion, political conviction, social status, ability or usefulness to society;

Determined to preserve peace, protect fundamental freedoms, strengthen democratic self- government, uphold social justice, safeguard the natural world and leave future generations a more humane civilization;

Committed to a Europe that can defend itself without becoming what it opposes, learn from the world without surrendering its independence, and cooperate across borders without erasing the identities of its peoples;

Establish this Constitution as a covenant among free peoples and equal human beings. Our unity shall not require uniformity of thought, faith, culture or identity.

Our common standard shall be the equal dignity of every person and the reciprocal responsibilities that make freedom possible.

Our authority shall derive from the people, remain limited by law, and be exercised in trust for present and future generations.

Our purpose shall not be to create a perfect society, but to build institutions capable of correcting injustice, restraining power and making tomorrow better than today.
