GERMANS NOW
AREALLEQUAL
Men and Women Have Same
Rights in the New
Constitution
By Associated Press.

Berlin, Friday, Aug. Is. - The
new German constitution, which
was passed by the National Assem-
bly, after months of debate and
which became effective this week,
is divided into two main parts-the
composition and ties of the en-
pire" and "the basic rights and
basic duties of Germans" The first
part consists of seven sections and
the second of five.
Subdivisions OF the first parts are:
The empire and individual states;
the Reichstag; the Imperial presi-
dent; imperial government; imper-
ial council; imperial legislation and
imperial administration of justice.
Those of the second part are: In
dividual community of life; religion
and religious societies, education
and economic life. The concluding
part of the constitution bears the
title: Transition relations"
The preamble to the constitution
begins as follows:
THE German people, united in its
branches and inspired by the will to
renew and strengthen it's empire in
freedom and justice, to further in
ner and outer peace and social ad-
vance, has voted this constitution" "
Section one declares the German
empire is a republican state, sover-
eighty being based on the people. 1t
describes the territorial limits of the
empire, establishes the imperial
colors as being black, red and gold
and states that the generally recog-
nized rules of international law will
be held as binding on the empire.
The second main part provides
that all Germans shall be equal be-
fore the law, and that men and
women shall have basically the
same rights and duties. Preferen-
tial rights and drawbacks of birth
and position are removed and titles
Of nobility arc considered as only
the part of persons name.
