Respect and tolerance are liberating acts, whereby the differences of others are recognized as the same as our own and whereby the riches of another culture are taken as the wealth of all. All people are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions can be founded only on the common good. The goal of any political association is the conservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, safety and resistance against oppression. The principle of any sovereignty resides essentially in the Nation. No body, no individual may exercise any authority which does not proceed directly from the nation Liberty and culture consists of doing anything which does not harm others: thus, the exercise of the natural rights of each man has only those borders which assure other members of the society the fruition of these same rights. These borders can be determined only by the law. The law has the right to forbid only actions harmful to society. Anything which is not forbidden by the law cannot be impeded, and no one can be constrained to do what it does not order. The law is the expression of the general will. All the citizens have the right of contributing personally or through their representatives to its formation. It must be the same for all, either that it protects, or that it punishes. All the citizens, being equal in its eyes, are equally admissible to all public dignities, places, and employments, according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents. No man can be accused, arrested nor detained but in the cases determined by the law, and according to the forms which it has prescribed. Those who solicit, dispatch, carry out or cause to be carried out arbitrary orders, must be punished; but any citizen called or seized under the terms of the law must obey at once; he renders himself culpable by resistance. The law should establish only penalties that are strictly and evidently necessary, and no one can be punished but under a law established and promulgated before the offense and legally applied, the death penalty is not allowed. Any person being presumed innocent until he is declared culpable if it is judged indispensable to arrest him, any rigor which would not be necessary for the securing of his person must be severely reprimanded by the law. No one may be disturbed for his opinions, even religious ones, provided that their manifestation does not trouble the public order established by the law. The free communication of thoughts and of opinions is one of the most precious rights of man: any citizen thus may speak, write, print freely, except to respond to the abuse of this liberty, in the cases determined by the law. Any society in which the guarantee of rights is not assured, nor the separation of powers determined, has no Constitution. Property being an inviolable and sacred right, no one can be deprived of private usage, if it is not when the public necessity, legally noted, evidently requires it, and under the condition of a just and prior indemnity.
In that case, I disagree, my friend, a constitution has a huge impact on reality on "What is the meaning of life?" Without deepening this now.
Can someone define "meaning" in this question? Do you mean purpose? For example we would find meaning in life if we believed it had a purpose, and we acted in a way which brought us (or the world) closer to that "purpose". Anyway, seems like this can be an interesting discussion, but I don't understand the question clearly.
dude u dont know what your talking about....the constitution is a great piece paper but is just a set of rules and laws it has nothing to do with the true meaning of life.
Yes. The only difference of constitution and law is the form. A constitution consists of articles whereas the laws consist of paragraphs. Anyway both address a certain group of people (a nation). And it's made for those who need rules. They have no true meaning, but consequences. A meaning, especially of life can be individual only and can't never be 'prescribed'. It's rather sense / idea than purpose. The proper translation depends on what you 'mean' by your native.
@l33tissw00t: Maybe the question could have been made more clear if it read "What does life mean to you?" IMHO, purpose changes as time goes by. Needs change. Agendas change. Sometimes we find purpose in simply getting involved in something that has meaning to us. In a general sense, we're all looking for something (or someone) that gives our lives meaning. Let's take MDL as an example. Most of us are here to give help when and where it is needed. Some of us come here because we simply have nowhere else to go to obtain the answers that we seek. In this context, MDL provides both meaning and purpose. Perhaps the question does need to be rephrased...
I think OP phrased it with intent to ask generally as a philosophical aspect. The question is if it can be answered at all, since answers are made by individuals. Means answers are actually made to the question: "What does life mean to you?" First of all you would have to define what life is at all. And probably to say it is not defined by individual characteristics, a certain condition or specific materiality, but by a certain amount of activities which are all in all characteristic and specific for life and being. Such as -Exchange of energy and matter (metabolism). -State of being organized and homeostasis. (Ability to keep a natural balance within a period of time by internal regulating processes). -Irritability. The ability to react on environmental chemical and physical changes. -Ability of reproduction -heredity -Growth. Ability to develop. Anyway the question about meaning still remains....
I get the notion that Quo Vadis is under the mind set that the govt rules (the law) must be kept in order to achieve a proper meaning in life. Do you live in a communist/dictatorship country?
Anything is better than Trump and the illusion of freedom in USofA... At least they know they are slaves to the machine... There's an exit for that... But in the USofA (see yourself) you are lying to yourselves big time, from a superiority complex position... shooting yourselves in the foot in the process.... No amount of guns in private hands will save you from your system and Trumps of this world, sucking you dry!!!
@MS_User: You have to realize that this piece of paper was created by humans. @Yen vote: First of all you would have to define what life is at all.
