&lt;div&gt;{{DISPLAYTITLE:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As students, we have a number of inalienable rights that should not be ignored. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As students, we deserve-- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# competent teachers that are knowledgeable in a subject and/or have proper schooling in the subject;&lt;br /&gt;
# to be taught by those teachers, not by a computer algorithm in lieu of and/or by proxy of that teacher;&lt;br /&gt;
# to be treated as people, not as numbers or cheques;&lt;br /&gt;
# to have our inalienable and equitable human rights respected;&lt;br /&gt;
# to have our voice heard in a realistic and equitable fashion;&lt;br /&gt;
# to have the Constitution of the United States of America, all international law thereof, all federal law thereof, and all state law thereof, including the Constitution of the State of Louisiana;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Point 1 - Competency of Faculty and Staff ==&lt;br /&gt;
The term &amp;quot;teacher&amp;quot; shall describe an individual meeting one or more of the following criterion--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# holds a degree in the subject,&lt;br /&gt;
# has studied that subject (at or above the level present to be taught in class) or a similar subject thereof,&lt;br /&gt;
# sufficiently understands the present curriculum insofar as is needed to teach the subject,&lt;br /&gt;
# or is concurrently studying the subject.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such as an individual teacher shall not provide personal opinion as fact, or personal fact as fact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, the religion of a teacher should not influence the material taught.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Point 2 - Banning of Artificial Intelligence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Artificial Intelligence, while bad for students, poses a threat of equal or greater severity to teachers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An example of frequent AI use seen in school is using AI to attempt to &amp;quot;catch&amp;quot; people using AI.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another such example is the use of AI generated posters, slideshows, quizzes, &amp;amp;c in classrooms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The frequency at which AI creates false information is staggering in comparison to if a teacher did it by hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, AI generated posters (as created for school events) are eyesores and, in many cases, elicit the opposite effect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Point 3 - Treatment of Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
The students recognise the fact that students, in many cases, provide funding to schools.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, we recognise the fact that the school holds &#039;&#039;in loco parentis&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, even though the school holds such a power, they are not allowed to act as though they are our parents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# the school is known to have made attempts at silencing the student body,&lt;br /&gt;
# the school is known to have enforced rules that are--&lt;br /&gt;
## overly vague, and&lt;br /&gt;
## unpublished;&lt;br /&gt;
# the school is known to have made attempts at inhumanely restricting students.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;The United States Government has a duty. That duty? Preserve the privacy of the people whenever possible. Yet today we face an issue: the United States is not upholding their duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the modern day United States, in an effort to uphold peace, various states and cities have formed contracts with private corporations. These corporations have one main duty: to provide ALPRs, or Automated License Plate Readers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While these ALPRs have a real, legitimate purpose, these such cameras aren&#039;t used for their intended purpose, and the corporations providing those services are both aware and permit it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One such legitimate purpose is tracking, for example, stolen vehicles or vehicles covered under AMBER Alerts... that is, of course, if it were accurate. It has been shown that, while manufacturers claim 93% accuracy, an independent study finds only 63% accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There have been numerous cases of LEOs and those entrusted to uphold and maintain the peace utilizing ALPRs for tracking people they deem people of interest, of which may not be, in all actuality, a proposed criminal. Instead, those persons of interest are people&#039;s ex spouses, favorite celebrities, children, and other such violations of contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many people continue to say &amp;quot;If I have nothing to hide, then why should I be worried?&amp;quot; And, to this, I call this ridiculous. ALPRs can do much more than just read plates. It&#039;s the difference between knowing that someone owns a phone (a very high probability, near assumable), knowing what platform that phone utilizes (it can be guessed based on simple market share), knowing that phone&#039;s associated number (very personal information), and knowing that phone&#039;s IMEI (data indeed seen to be extremely personal).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ALPRs can be used to discern very sensitive information of any person going on a monitored street, not only those proposed &amp;quot;people of interest.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus, due to the database access provided to the Government, and the nature of the data provided, the Government can, without a warrant, obtain information that otherwise would require a warrant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is due to this that ALPRs should not be used, among other things.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Killing people is fucking wrong&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It invigorates me as to why people continue to say &amp;quot;murder is bad&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;oh but if my government does it to anyone it&#039;s 100% chill&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wtf&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hate killing anything let alone people&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s bogus and bullshit and a massive double standard&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Abolish the police, or restrict them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Repeal the 2nd amendment to the Constitution&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cut our defense spending by 50%&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I fucking swear the US is the worst place to live&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So much of what the US does is in-group&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We don&#039;t help anyone other than who we butt fuck and kiss goodnight&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Israel, pour example)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They&#039;re a militia state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They exist for no reason other than to antagonize and further terrorism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States, founded on equality, has never and will never be equal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s a set of flaws that were woven into the constitution upon first draft&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And every subsequent amendment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The devaluation of life by means of State-Issued violence is just that; violence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no actual purpose of it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s laziness, and dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due simply in part to the fact that people aren&#039;t simple or perfect, of which goes bidirectionally&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On one hand, we have the alleged criminal. At a certain point you cannot blame the criminal and you must instead blame the government surrounding them; pushing them down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other, we have the institutional systems of the Justice system. A joke overall. A case can go cold for years, that person executed for a crime they, later, were proven to have not committed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we&#039;re expected to sit idly, lamely, waiting for our turn?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The people of the United States government think we are just that; idle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We aren&#039;t, yet they believe they can enact laws stating this &amp;quot;Hip New-Old Way of Fucking Killing People But It&#039;s Fine Because You Paid For It!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It insane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States is a war state. Plain and simple&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No real other way to put it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We exist to further our own ideas simply due to xenophobia, even if that very fear causes the dissolution of our people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mutually-Assured Destruction is real, and the United States continues to act like the global authority on shit it doesn&#039;t have any power over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I sit idly, day in, day out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Watching bills be passed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rulings be issued&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All so the government can justify the killing of people like me, people like you, people like us, people unlike us, people unlike most; people like people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have yet to understand why it is we feel the need to kill rather than uphold peace, justice, harmony, and internationality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Senate and House continue to work against us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of all 50 states&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simply because the bourgeoisie pose a threat unlike any other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The president can label us however he damn see fit, yet he will continue to be wrong due to his status.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

The Department of Homeland Security was formed by the &amp;quot;Homeland Security Act of 2002&amp;quot; (116 Stat. 2135). That act was, overall, a mess of administrative and legal glue; which leaves us with the heap of garbage we today know as the &amp;quot;Department of Homeland Security&amp;quot; (DHS). In fact, Title 6 is almost &#039;&#039;exclusively&#039;&#039; that act (along with this being the, I kid you not, shortest title I&#039;ve seen thus far)&lt;br /&gt;

We’ve known this. It takes human-made works, and spins it to look new. If anything, it’s a glorified copyright violation machine. For the remainder of this work, conventional so-called &amp;quot;generative AI models&amp;quot; shall be referred to by the more correct term &amp;quot;LLM&amp;quot; (standing for &amp;quot;Large Language Model&amp;quot;, to differentiate it from actually useful Machine Learning algorithms). Additionally, in this case, &amp;quot;LLM&amp;quot; should extend beyond text, including images, videos, audio, and others. AI as a term is inaccurate, anyway.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I do know how Machine Learning works, and I have used Large Language Models in the past (I refuse to shy away from this fact), quite a few currently existing personal policies prohibit me from doing so currently. One such policy is a blanket personal prohibition on utilizing any and all Generative Machine Learning models (including those made in whole or in part by ChatGPT, Google Deepmind, Claude, Deepseek, Meta, etc.) for any purposes whatsoever in any capacity whatsoever, and I am unwilling to modify that policy.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What LLMs do is rather impressive, in the grand scheme of things. When you train a model, you are turning human-readable information into a set of &amp;quot;weights&amp;quot; that go to a set of &amp;quot;neurons.&amp;quot; These weights affect the sensitivities at which certain neurons &amp;quot;fire.&amp;quot; Neurons can only take in one number, being any number from 0 to 1 (inclusive) with different widths (like, 32-bits, for example). Then, whatever is input needs to be tokenised (turned into discrete units) and fed into the neurons. Depending on how highly activated a neuron is, that is how confident the neural network (the whole collection of neurons, composed of many layers of neurons) of something. An LLM takes input, tokenises it, runs the neural network against those tokens (this is why tokens are such a big thing in LLMs), then takes the output. All LLMs do is give a &amp;quot;best effort guess&amp;quot; based on the input provided.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, at a point, you run into the Chinese room problem (does the machine actually understand the conversation, or is it just simulating the ability to understand the conversation?), of which is largely provable as being a very good way to refute LLMs.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Now... What could so bad about AI?&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For starters, I personally find that it violates many licenses, including the GNU General Public License version 3 or later, due to it creating (what I see to be) a derivative work and not emitting a proper or compatible license to cover it. Or, when software holding any version of the AGPL is consumed by LLMs when training, and that LLM is produced online, it can be viewed as a violation of AGPL.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, it is a &#039;&#039;horrible&#039;&#039; toll on the environment. The datacentres that train and run them require a near infinite amount of energy, water, data, and other resources. Additionally, they produce pollution that, in almost every case, is seen as biologically non-compatible.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Energy is commonly derived from fossil fuels, of which contribute to the amount of greenhouse gasses present in the atmosphere. Another issue is that, when power grids are connected to grant higher throughput for datacentres, the cost of infrastructure is passed onto the customers using the powergrids, not the datacentres.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Water is an extremely important, yet limited, resource, of which datacentres use extensively in order to cool their GPUs. While some datacentre providers continue to promise &amp;quot;Every drop of water will be returned to local sources&amp;quot; even though that’s only &#039;&#039;part&#039;&#039; of the problem. Another issue with the immense water use is water pressure of surrounding areas being brought so incredibly low that the water may well not exist in the pipes. Additionally, datacentres make water dirty and, in many cases, toxic.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Again, data sourced without permission of the author (data harvesting should be opt-in, not -out) is against copyright laws. The only exception I may grant is in the event a Privacy Policy or Terms of Service states that it harvests data, in which case you should cease use of that service (my opinions on SaaSS is vast).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pollution that datacentres create is not only atmospherically problematic, it is also problematic in what they cause regardless of what energy or water source they use: Sound. The sound the generators, cooling fans and towers, and other sources create happens to be in the sub-kHz range. Research has shown that, as a result of constant, consistent, loud sub-kHz noise is not compatible with life. For example, people developing severe chronic disorders due to the way the brain works with sounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to stealing individual resources, it also usurps the most global resource: land. For example, one proposed datacentre in Utah&#039;s Box Elder County, called The Stratos Project, is planned to be almost 40,000 acres, or 62.5 square miles. It is estimated to consume 8 gigawatts of energy. It is also estimated to produce 8 gigawatts of waste heat. That is 8,000,000,000 watts. Government regulation limits space heaters to 1,500 watts; yet this datacentre is projected to produce ~5.3 million space heaters. A gigawatt is typically the annually averaged power consumption for a city of 1.8 million inhabitants, and is the output of a large power station. This single datacentre is proposed to consume as much energy as 14.4 million people do in a year.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Hello! My name is Elle, and I am the President of this Commonwealth. I intend to serve the people as I am charged under our Constitution. I also made this wiki as the official website for--&lt;br /&gt;
* The Commonwealth of Acropolis,&lt;br /&gt;
* The District of Acropolis, and&lt;br /&gt;
* The Territory of Libertie, and&lt;br /&gt;
* All of our people!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is by no means a complete introduction, for I shall introduce myself in the form of my bills and Journal reports. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I sincerely thank you for allowing me to be, and remain, the President of the Commonwealth.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;quot;The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;The United States Government has a duty. That duty? Preserve the privacy of the people whenever possible. Yet today we face an issue: the United States is not upholding their duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the modern day United States, in an effort to uphold peace, various states and cities have formed contracts with private corporations. These corporations have one main duty: to provide ALPRs, or Automated License Plate Readers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While these ALPRs have a real, legitimate purpose, these such cameras aren&#039;t used for their intended purpose, and the corporations providing those services are both aware and permit it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One such legitimate purpose is tracking, for example, stolen vehicles or vehicles covered under AMBER Alerts... that is, of course, if it were accurate. It has been shown that, while manufacturers claim 93% accuracy, an independent study finds only 63% accuracy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There have been numerous cases of LEOs and those entrusted to uphold and maintain the peace utilizing ALPRs for tracking people they deem people of interest, of which may not be, in all actuality, a proposed criminal. Instead, those persons of interest are people&#039;s ex spouses, favorite celebrities, children, and other such violations of contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many people continue to say &amp;quot;If I have nothing to hide, then why should I be worried?&amp;quot; And, to this, I call this ridiculous. ALPRs can do much more than just read plates. It&#039;s the difference between knowing that someone owns a phone (a very high probability, near assumable), knowing what platform that phone utilizes (it can be guessed based on simple market share), knowing that phone&#039;s associated number (very personal information), and knowing that phone&#039;s IMEI (data indeed seen to be extremely personal).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ALPRs can be used to discern very sensitive information of any person going on a monitored street, not only those proposed &amp;quot;people of interest.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus, due to the database access provided to the Government, and the nature of the data provided, the Government can, without a warrant, obtain information that otherwise would require a warrant. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is due to this that ALPRs should not be used, among other things.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;{{Charter template|title=The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title I - Preamble ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The Commonwealth of Acropolis recognizes a solemn duty to uphold the rights of others. In the interest of this, in addition to [[Constitution:Constitution#Article IX|Article IX]], the Commonwealth introduces the following as a sovereign charter of the Commonwealth of Acropolis.&lt;br /&gt;
# Upon ratification of this charter, any new version of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, published by the European Union, are to be entered into full effect of the law, superseding any previous versions thereof, with applicable and appropriate modifications made subject to [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title III - Modifications|Title III]] of this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Charter displayed in [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title II - Text|Title II]] is the version represented by the CELEX number &amp;quot;12016P/TXT&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
# This charter is to take supremacy over &amp;quot;[[Presidential Bill:1/2|The Bill of Rights of 1789]]&amp;quot; due to the higher protections herein provided.&lt;br /&gt;
## should &amp;quot;[[Presidential Bill:1/2|The Bill of Rights of 1789]]&amp;quot; make granted a right not herein provided, that granted right shall be permitted to reign supreme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union therefore recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out hereafter.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;

5.   The provisions of this Charter which contain principles may be implemented by legislative and executive acts taken by institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union, and by acts of Member States when they are implementing Union law, in the exercise of their respective powers. They shall be judicially cognisable only in the interpretation of such acts and in the ruling on their legality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6.   Full account shall be taken of national laws and practices as specified in this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level of protection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing in this Charter shall be interpreted as restricting or adversely affecting human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognised, in their respective fields of application, by Union law and international law and by international agreements to which the Union or all the Member States are party, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and by the Member States&#039; constitutions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prohibition of abuse of rights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Charter template|title=The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title I - Preamble ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The Commonwealth of Acropolis recognizes a solemn duty to uphold the rights of others. In the interest of this, in addition to [[Constitution:Constitution#Article IX|Article IX]], the Commonwealth introduces the following as a sovereign charter of the Commonwealth of Acropolis.&lt;br /&gt;
# Upon ratification of this charter, any new version of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, published by the European Union, are to be entered into full effect of the law, superseding any previous versions thereof, with applicable and appropriate modifications made subject to [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title III - Modifications|Title III]] of this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Charter displayed in [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title II - Text|Title II]] is the version represented by the CELEX number &amp;quot;12016P/TXT&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
# This charter is to take supremacy over &amp;quot;[[PRES:1/2|The Bill of Rights of 1789]]&amp;quot; due to the higher protections herein provided.&lt;br /&gt;
## should &amp;quot;[[PRES:1/2|The Bill of Rights of 1789]]&amp;quot; make granted a right not herein provided, that granted right shall be permitted to reign supreme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union therefore recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out hereafter.&lt;br /&gt;

1.   Any limitation on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognised by this Charter must be provided for by law and respect the essence of those rights and freedoms.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.   In so far as this Charter contains rights which correspond to rights guaranteed by the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the meaning and scope of those rights shall be the same as those laid down by the said Convention.

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Charter template|title=The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title I - Preamble ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The Commonwealth of Acropolis recognizes a solemn duty to uphold the rights of others. In the interest of this, in addition to [[Constitution:Constitution#Article IX|Article IX]], the Commonwealth introduces the following as a sovereign charter of the Commonwealth of Acropolis.&lt;br /&gt;
# Upon ratification of this charter, any new version of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, published by the European Union, are to be entered into full effect of the law, superseding any previous versions thereof, with applicable and appropriate modifications made subject to [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title III - Modifications|Title III]] of this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Charter displayed in [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title II - Text|Title II]] is the version represented by the CELEX number &amp;quot;12016P/TXT&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
# This charter is to take supremacy over &amp;quot;[[PRES:1/2|The Bill of Rights]]&amp;quot; due to the higher protections herein provided.&lt;br /&gt;
## should &amp;quot;[[PRES:1/2|The Bill of Rights]]&amp;quot; make granted a right not herein provided, that granted right shall be permitted to reign supreme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union therefore recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out hereafter.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1.   The provisions of this Charter are addressed to the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union with due regard for the principle of subsidiarity and to the Member States only when they are implementing Union law. They shall therefore respect the rights, observe the principles and promote the application thereof in accordance with their respective powers and respecting the limits of the powers of the Union as conferred on it in the Treaties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1.   Any limitation on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognised by this Charter must be provided for by law and respect the essence of those rights and freedoms. Subject to the principle of proportionality, limitations may be made only if they are necessary and genuinely meet objectives of general interest recognised by the Union or the need to protect the rights and freedoms of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

2.   Rights recognised by this Charter for which provision is made in the Treaties shall be exercised under the conditions and within the limits defined by those Treaties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.   In so far as this Charter contains rights which correspond to rights guaranteed by the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the meaning and scope of those rights shall be the same as those laid down by the said Convention. This provision shall not prevent Union law providing more extensive protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4.   In so far as this Charter recognises fundamental rights as they result from the constitutional traditions common to the Member States, those rights shall be interpreted in harmony with those traditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5.   The provisions of this Charter which contain principles may be implemented by legislative and executive acts taken by institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union, and by acts of Member States when they are implementing Union law, in the exercise of their respective powers. They shall be judicially cognisable only in the interpretation of such acts and in the ruling on their legality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6.   Full account shall be taken of national laws and practices as specified in this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.   The explanations drawn up as a way of providing guidance in the interpretation of this Charter shall be given due regard by the courts of the Union and of the Member States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article 53&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level of protection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing in this Charter shall be interpreted as restricting or adversely affecting human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognised, in their respective fields of application, by Union law and international law and by international agreements to which the Union or all the Member States are party, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and by the Member States&#039; constitutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prohibition of abuse of rights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing in this Charter shall be interpreted as implying any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms recognised in this Charter or at their limitation to a greater extent than is provided for herein.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;{{Charter template|title=The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title I - Preamble ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The Commonwealth of Acropolis recognizes a solemn duty to uphold the rights of others. In the interest of this, in addition to [[Constitution:Constitution#Article IX|Article IX]], the Commonwealth introduces the following as a sovereign charter of the Commonwealth of Acropolis.&lt;br /&gt;
# Upon ratification of this charter, any new version of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, published by the European Union, are to be entered into full effect of the law, superseding any previous versions thereof, with applicable and appropriate modifications made subject to [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title III - Modifications|Title III]] of this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Charter displayed in [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title II - Text|Title II]] is the version represented by the CELEX number &amp;quot;12016P/TXT&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union therefore recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out hereafter.&lt;br /&gt;

# Upon ratification of this charter, any new version of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, published by the European Union, are to be entered into full effect of the law, superseding any previous versions thereof, with applicable and appropriate modifications made subject to [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title III - Modifications|Title III]] of this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union therefore recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out hereafter.&lt;br /&gt;

Principles of legality and proportionality of criminal offences and penalties&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.   No one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence under national law or international law at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the criminal offence was committed. If, subsequent to the commission of a criminal offence, the law provides for a lighter penalty, that penalty shall be applicable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2.   This Article shall not prejudice the trial and punishment of any person for any act or omission which, at the time when it was committed, was criminal according to the general principles recognised by the community of nations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.   The severity of penalties must not be disproportionate to the criminal offence.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{Charter template|title=The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title I - Preamble ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The Commonwealth of Acropolis recognizes a solemn duty to uphold the rights of others. In the interest of this, in addition to [[Constitution:Constitution#Article IX|Article IX]], the Commonwealth introduces the following as a sovereign charter of the Commonwealth of Acropolis.&lt;br /&gt;
# Upon ratification of this charter, any new version of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, published by the European Union, are to be entered into full effect of the law, superseding any previous versions thereof, with applicable and appropriate modifications made subject to [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title III - Modifications|Title III]] of this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Charter displayed in [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title II - Text|Title II]] is the version represented by the CELEX number &amp;quot;12016P/TXT&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;

1.   Any limitation on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognised by this Charter must be provided for by law and respect the essence of those rights and freedoms.

&lt;br /&gt;
3.   In so far as this Charter contains rights which correspond to rights guaranteed by the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the meaning and scope of those rights shall be the same as those laid down by the said Convention.

&lt;br /&gt;
== Title I - Preamble ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# The Commonwealth of Acropolis recognizes a solemn duty to uphold the rights of others. In the interest of this, in addition to [[Constitution:Constitution#Article IX|Article IX]], the Commonwealth introduces the following as a sovereign charter of the Commonwealth of Acropolis.&lt;br /&gt;
# Upon ratification of this charter, any new version of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, published by the European Union, are to be entered into full effect of the law, superseding any previous versions thereof, with applicable and appropriate modifications made subject to [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title III - Modifications|Title III]] of this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
# The Charter displayed in [[Presidential Bill:1/5#Title II - Text|Title II]] is the version represented by the CELEX number &amp;quot;12016P/TXT&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Title II - Text ==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission solemnly proclaim the following text as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The peoples of Europe, in creating an ever closer union among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Union is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of Europe as well as the national identities of the Member States and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, services, goods and capital, and the freedom of establishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in a Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Charter reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Union and for the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and by the Council of Europe and the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context the Charter will be interpreted by the courts of the Union and the Member States with due regard to the explanations prepared under the authority of the Praesidium of the Convention which drafted the Charter and updated under the responsibility of the Praesidium of the European Convention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Union therefore recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out hereafter.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1.   Any limitation on the exercise of the rights and freedoms recognised by this Charter must be provided for by law and respect the essence of those rights and freedoms.

2.   Rights recognised by this Charter for which provision is made in the Treaties shall be exercised under the conditions and within the limits defined by those Treaties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.   In so far as this Charter contains rights which correspond to rights guaranteed by the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the meaning and scope of those rights shall be the same as those laid down by the said Convention. This provision shall not prevent Union law providing more extensive protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4.   In so far as this Charter recognises fundamental rights as they result from the constitutional traditions common to the Member States, those rights shall be interpreted in harmony with those traditions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5.   The provisions of this Charter which contain principles may be implemented by legislative and executive acts taken by institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union, and by acts of Member States when they are implementing Union law, in the exercise of their respective powers. They shall be judicially cognisable only in the interpretation of such acts and in the ruling on their legality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6.   Full account shall be taken of national laws and practices as specified in this Charter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.   The explanations drawn up as a way of providing guidance in the interpretation of this Charter shall be given due regard by the courts of the Union and of the Member States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article 53&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Level of protection&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing in this Charter shall be interpreted as restricting or adversely affecting human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognised, in their respective fields of application, by Union law and international law and by international agreements to which the Union or all the Member States are party, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and by the Member States&#039; constitutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prohibition of abuse of rights&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing in this Charter shall be interpreted as implying any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms recognised in this Charter or at their limitation to a greater extent than is provided for herein.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
