It can still be summed up as "you have the right to freedom as long as it doesn't infringe on other people's right to freedom", which is the liberal democratic tradition.
Admittedly the responsibilities to "observe discipline in the workplace", "respect social morality" and "safeguarding the honor of the motherland" wouldn't normally be part of a constitution in most places, but some of those kinds of ideas are part of the US 'Oath of Allegiance'.
All that said, rights enshrined in China's constitution are not enforced, but arguably some of the responsibilities are enforced.
- kadoban 6y agoI would personally give a different summation. It seems like you're free unless you use that freedom in a way the state doesn't like. Which is a rather ineffective version of freedom, it only guarantees you can do things that you wouldn't need any guarantee for in the first place.
- kadoban 6y agoI'm not seeing many parallels in the US Oath of Allegiance myself.
