THE PADANIAN CITIZENS' BILL OF RIGHTS
1. All citizens of Padania have the right to liberty, education, work, the
protection of private life, and unbiased and accurate information.
2. The citizens of Padania may not be forced to serve anyone, including their
fellow countrymen. Since a well-ordered militia is necessary for the security of
a free State, the citizens ensure the defence of their country through voluntary
enrollment in the Padanian National Guard.
3. The family is the fundamental building-block of society. The citizens of
Padania have the right to found a family, to live according to their age-old
traditions, to establish institutions and the rules for living in harmony with
their aspirations, the values in which they believe, and the needs they perceive.
4. They have the right to self-government, to choose among themselves and to
monitor the persons entrusted with the task of managing common interests,
including educators, judges, and law enforcement officials. All public employees
will be hired on the basis of private-law term contracts.
5. They have the right to refuse all fiscal and judicial burdens imposed upon
them without their explicit consent. They likewise have the right to determine
the quantity of financial resources necessary for the management of essential
public services, the distribution of their relative costs, and the methods and
timing of payment. They have the right to monitor the use and the management of
these resources.
6. The community of Padanian citizens is open to all other women and men, but
they retain the right to establish regulations aimed at preventing the
deterioration of their ethnic and cultural heritage.
7. The citizens of Padania recognize the duty of aiding others who, through no
fault of their own, do not succeed in achieving standards of living similar to
those enjoyed in Padania. However, the exclusive purpose of such aid, decided
and determined by the citizens of Padania through their Institutions, must be
the formation and production of self-sustaining resources.
8. The rights and the liberties of the line of descendancy which comprise the
Padanian Nation will be protected by the Institutions so that these ethnic
Groups, National Communities, and Peoples may be conserved and may develop
without limitations except for those in the interests of mutual respect and the
necessity of favoring common choices and decisions. The Federal Republic of
Padania will readily collaborate with all other human Communities, and
particularly with bordering Peoples.
9. The Institutions of the Federal Republic of Padania will be based on
inviolable individual rights and liberties limited only by the exercise of the
same rights and liberties enjoyed by others.
10. The Federal Republic of Padania recognizes the uncompromisable right of the
local Communities and their freely elected governments to make autonomous use of
their resources to accomplish their tasks, without interference, and to assume
the responsibilities necessary for guaranteeing the full satisfaction of the
local Communites' needs, without limitations.
