Well the weighty rights aspect at least. Assuming the translation is fair. Of course, it was never enacted but it's a very interesting example of a secular modern constitution. A few interesting points:
Article 1
'No one shall be discriminated against on the grounds of race, descent, nationality, language, sex, sexual orientation, social status, age, disability, religious, philosophical or political conviction.'
The gay rights statement flows from the GDR's legal statement in 1988 that 'Homosexual people do therefore not stand outside socialist society, and the civil rights are warranted to them exactly as to all other citizens.'
Article 4 Section 3
'Women shall have the right to self-determined pregnancy. The State shall protect the unborn life by offering social assistance.'
At first, two competing premises, but actually quite syncretic. Thoughts?
Also
Article 11
'1. The freedom of conscience is guaranteed.
'2. If conscience conflicts with civic or civil duties, the citizen, if he does not wish to fulfill these duties, must offer other services and the state must open up other, equally burdensome duties.'
I like the (English) wording of this; 'equally burdensome duties' charges not just freedom of conscience as an
opt out with a form of gravitas, but also those who do not object.
