The Constitution is our national vision and shield against wrong

At a great cost of lives, courage, and suffering in the past, we have re-gathered our national vision. We have then put it in our 2010 Constitution.

The Constitution is not only a set of rules. It is also a vision for the nation. It is the most visible reminder of the vision. We see it constantly: Parliament, politics, the talks going on, the counties, governors, courts, and the police are all institutions of the Constitution at work in our daily lives.
