La Constitution européenne, c'est le PQ pour le cabinet d'aisance incarné par la Zéropa

Over 200 hundred years and still going strong:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ...

Inspirational, poetic, and just approved by a newly democratic people:
