I propose a serious of amendments establishing economic and social rights. These derive from various United Nations' documents and the ideas of Franklin Roosevelt: Amendment 1 Every citizen, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international cooperation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality. Section Congress shall have the power to enforce the provisions of this amendment by appropriate legislation. Amendment 2 Every citizen has the right to a dignified job that pays a living wage; a universal basic income; decent and affordable housing; health care of equal high quality; a free education of equal high quality; a clean environment; sound banking and financial services; and a retirement income sufficient to meet basic needs. Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this amendment by appropriate legislation. Amendment 3 Every citizen, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international cooperation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality. Congress shall have the power to enforce the provisions of this amendment by appropriate legislation. Amendment 4 All citizens have the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of themselves and of their family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond their control. Congress shall have the power to enforce the provisions of this amendment by appropriate legislation. Amendment 5 Every citizen has the right to education. Education shall be free and self-directed, especially in the elementary and fundamental stages. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all.

Congress shall have the power to enforce the provisions of this amendment by appropriate legislation. Amendment 7 Every citizen has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible. In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, every citizen shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society. These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United States.
