Preamble

We, the citizens of the Czech Republic in Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, at the time of the renewal of an independent Czech state, being loyal to all good traditions of the ancient statehood of Czech Crown's Lands and the Czechoslovak State, resolve to build, protect and develop the Czech Republic in the spirit of the inviolable values of human dignity and freedom as the home of equal and free citizens who are conscious of their duties towards others and their responsibility towards the whole, as a free and democratic state based on the respect for human rights and the principles of a civil society, and as part of the European family and the democracies of the world, resolve to jointly protect and develop the inherited natural, cultural, material, and spiritual wealth, and to abide by the time-tested principles of a lawful state, through our freely elected representatives, hereby adopt this Constitution of the Czech Republic.
