“ No one shall have the right to prevent citizens of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from fighting against an enemy who has attacked the country. Such acts shall be unconstitutional and punishable as high treason. High treason is the gravest crime against the people and shall be punished as a serious criminal offense. ”

“ Since no one has the right of ownership over social means of production, nobody — not sociopolitical communities, nor organizations of associated labour, nor groups of citizens, nor individuals — may appropriate on any legal-property grounds the product of social labour or manage and dispose of the social means of production and labour, or arbitrarily determine conditions for distribution. Man's labour shall be the only basis for the appropriation of the product of social labour and for the management of social resources. ”

“ It is precisely the socio-economic status of the workers in the basic organization of associated labour and through this in the totality of relationships, that stimulates and enables workers to strive for integration in the economy, trade, scientific research, etc. ”

“ Free exchange of labour leads to the integration of all spheres of social labour - material production and other social activities -into a single process of social reproduction and to the establishment of the same socio-economic status for working people in all spheres of associated labour. In this sense, self -managing communities of interest are also a form of association of labour, especially in so far as they satisfy the needs and interests of reproduction. ”

“ In view of this, it can be said that millions of working people throughout the country have taken part in the preparation of the new Constitution. The new Constitution is the result of free agreement on terms of equality among the Republics and Provinces, a unanimously accepted synthesis of the common interests of our nations and nationalities. In content, mode of preparation and adoption the new Constitution is a genuine charter of self -management and social compact on the basis of which our multi-national socialist and free community of labour will be further developed. ”

“ It is only in the interests of the working class, as the dominating "nation within the nation", that lies the dialectic unity of solution of class and national interests. Only when such social assumptions have been created, and the entire spirit of the proposed Constitution is determined by the need for the working class to assume mastery over the whole of the social process of reproduction, will all indispensable conditions for independent national life and free mutual self-management association within the framework of our multi-national communities be created. ”

“ Emancipation of work, which supersedes the historically conditioned inequality and dependence of people in work, which is assured by the abolition of wage-labor relations, by self-management of the working people, by comprehensive development of the productive forces, by the diminishing of the socially necessary labor time, by the development of science, culture, and technology, and by the continual expansion of education ”

“ When the results of past labour are denied to the worker, they tend to transform themselves into power over the worker instead of becoming an element of his power. Such relations of expropriation of and power over the worker come into being not only on the basis of private capitalist ownership, but also through statist, technocratic and similar alienation of the results of labour from the workers. ”

“ The citizens shall have the right to express and publish their opinions through the media of information, to inform themselves through the media of information, to publish newspapers and other publications, and to disseminate information by other media of communication. These freedoms and rights shall not be used by anyone to overthrow the foundations of the socialist democratic order determined by the Constitution: to endanger the peace, international cooperation on terms of equality, or the independence of the country ”

“ The function of political power as an expression of some kind of "unified social interest" and thereby also of the "legitimacy" of the real power of the bourgeoisie, cannot, therefore, be based on man as he is, man as determined by the entirety of social relations, interests and the status of the class to which he belongs. Because of this, the classical representative system is based on an "abstract citizen", on an imaginary man, divorced from basic social relations, the relations of production, in which the real social substance is reproduced. ”

“ In pressing for all-round political, economic and cultural cooperation with other nations and states, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, as a socialist community of nations, holds the view that this cooperation should contribute to the creation of those democratic forms of linkage among states, nations and people, which suit the interests of nations and social progress, and is in this respect an open community. ”

“ By carrying into effect the new social relations, which are also pregnant with new social contradictions, our society will necessarily be faced with new problems which it will have to solve. Because of this, it is indispensable to follow the development of society in a comprehensive, scholarly and scientific way, constantly and critically to re-examine our own practice, to detect new laws emerging from the soil of new relationships, and to determine conditions for the solution of these problems. ”

“ Instead of the isolated individual, citizen standing outside the socio-economic relations which determine him as a member of his class, the basis and essence of the political system of socialist self-management democracy are now the working people who, organized politically and on self-management foundations in their work communities and communities of life, and in other socio-political organizations, are mutually linked through their delegations and delegates and exercise power and management of general social affairs. ”
