A Catalogue of Constitutional Rights and Obligations for States

Currently 90 Article Entries — I Am Continuing Toward 300 Proposals

This international constitutional research project was born in France with the ambition of inspiring a bold Seventh Republic. Yet it carries no claim of Western arrogance or hypocrisy. As an ordinary citizen shaped by plural roots—Cyprus and Bolivia—I observe our country's inability to reinvent itself, frozen in an obsolete political framework. This project is the fruit of humble, borderless observation of the world's cultures and myths, seeking inspiration from their wisdom while also practicing introspection, returning to common sense and drawing out the quintessence of other cultures. Georges Koussouros

I. THE GREAT SCHISM: FROM THE STATE AS CLERGY TO A SOCIETY OF REFLECTION

The Lutheran Revolution of the State

We proclaim the end of the State perceived as a father standing above us. This is neither classical democracy nor democracy without a State: it is the advent of a Society of Reflection—a nervous system serving the social body, where Law-as-Engineering replaces incantatory democracy, finally freeing each person's time and clarity of mind.

1. The New Age of Idolatry

Throughout history, humanity has sought to ward off existential anxiety by delegating sovereignty to vertical powers: first to gods, then kings, priests and finally the State. Each time, the same toxic bargain has been repeated: in exchange for illusory protection, peoples have surrendered their freedom of thought. The modern State is only the latest form of this idolatry. It has replaced the Church.

2. The State, a New Clergy

Today, politicians are our high priests. Their dogma is economic growth. Their indulgences are electoral promises. Their hell is social chaos. Like the medieval Church, the State governs through fear: fear of unemployment, insecurity and the future. And as before, this fear is traded for our submission. The State has become a secular clergy, selling electoral salvation as illusory as the indulgences of the Middle Ages.

3. The Necessary Schism: Separating the State and the People

Five centuries ago, Luther took the Bible from the hands of the clergy and returned it to the people. He broke the monopoly over divine interpretation. Today, the Seventh Republic makes the same gesture: it separates the State and the People. No more paternal State deciding in our place, no more manipulation through anxiety, and no more economic dogma imposed as revealed truth.

4. Calculated Truth and the Society of Reflection

Luther replaced blind faith with critical reading of Scripture. We replace incantatory democracy with Law-as-Engineering: calculated laws, certified truth and time freed so that everyone can finally reflect rather than merely endure. The Seventh Republic establishes a society in which each individual has the time, tools and clarity needed to question the meaning of their life and their community.

II. CONSTITUTIONAL EVOLUTION

The Fourth Generation: Oblique Law

Until now, societies have been organized according to vertical or horizontal models. These architectures have failed in the face of the complexity of the modern world. The Seventh Republic establishes the Oblique Paradigm.

Information permeation: in the old world, public decision-making was compartmentalized. Obliqueness breaks down these intellectual boundaries: all information can and should be useful across every field.

The end of human silos: obliqueness arises from a revolution in social harmony. Siloed functioning is abolished. Law frees itself from rigid protocols.

In summary: the Oblique Constitution no longer dictates order from a blind summit. By dismantling barriers to information and protocol-based status, it transforms the Nation into a global cerebral metabolism.

1. First Generation: Bottom-Up Verticality

What it was meant to address: abuse of power. Verb: PROTECT. In the eighteenth century, the constitution primarily drew a red line that the State was not permitted to cross.

2. Second Generation: Top-Down Verticality

What it was meant to address: poverty and the population's survival. Verb: SUPPORT. After 1946, the constitution became a tool for organizing the distribution and governance of wealth.

3. Third Generation: Horizontality

What it was meant to address: destruction of the planet and wars. Verb: COOPERATE. From the 1970s onward, the constitution becomes a framework for cooperation.

III. SUMMARY: THE 7 CONSTITUTIONAL LEVELS

The structure of the State is organized around seven evolving dimensions, from material survival to ontological fulfillment.
