Vision of the Country commission majority report

Preamble

The Bolivian people, with its plural composition, expressed in the
entirety of Bolivians, pertaining to urban communities made up of
different social classes and the indigenous peoples, originario
nations, campesino, and intercultural and Afro-Bolivian peoples, have
manifested their will to reconstruct the identities of the indigenous

suffered from a permanent exclusion during colonial and republican
life, having had ignored their rights to ancestral territories,
institutions, judicial systems, politics, languages and culture.

On the other side, the economic and social inequalities have deepened

Because of this, the valiant Bolivian people have conformed a
Constituent Assembly to which it has given the mandate to "refound

dignity, complementarity, solidarity, harmony and equality in
distribution and redistribution of the social product, where the
common good predominates in the search to "live well; of respect for
economic, social, judicial, political and cultural diversity of all
its inhabitants; generating collective well being, with healthcare,
work, education and housing for all.

A plurinational, communitarian state which integrates and articulates
itself within the objective of constructing a Great Latin American

integral, harmonic development and the self-determination of our
peoples.

Therefore, the Constituent Assembly declares and approves the Bolivian
Political Constitution of the Plurinational, Communitarian State:
