Article 2

1. All political power in the Teutonic Reich is exercised by the people's community. Humans are located in the center of all efforts of the Fascist society and its state. The further increase of the material and cultural life level of the people on the basis of a high rate of development of fascist and corporate production, the increase in scientific-technological progress and the growth of national productivity is the crucial task of the developed Fascist society.
   
2. The exploitation of humans by humans is to be eliminated. What the people's hands create, is the property of the people. The principle of class collaboration and corporatism forms the basis of social harmony and unity within the state.

3. A Bill for making an amendment to this Part shall not be passed by Parliament unless it has been supported, at a national referendum, by not less than two-thirds of the total number of votes cast by the electors registered under the Parliamentary Elections Act.

Article 4

1. All state authority is derived from the people under the guidance of the National German People's Fascist and Justice Party. It is exercised by the people through elections and other votes and through specific legislative, executive and judicial bodies.
   
2. The legislature shall be bound by the constitutional order, the executive and the judiciary by law and justice and the Principle of Leadership.
   
3. This Constitution is the supreme law of the Teutonic Reich of the German Nation and any law enacted by the Legislature after the commencement of this Constitution which is inconsistent with this Constitution shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void.
   
4. A Bill seeking to amend any provision in this Constitution shall not be passed by Parliament unless it has been supported on Second and Third Readings by the votes of not less than two-thirds of the total number of the elected Members of Parliament
   
5. All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order, if no other remedy is available.

Article 5

2. participating or co-operating in, or contributing towards, any scheme, venture, project, enterprise or undertaking of whatsoever nature, in conjunction or in concert with any other sovereign state or with any Federation, Confederation, country or countries or any association, body or organisation therein, where such scheme, venture, project, enterprise or undertaking confers, has the effect of conferring or is intended to confer, on the Teutonic Reich or any association, body or organisation therein, any economic, financial, industrial, social, cultural, educational or other benefit of any kind or is, or appears to be, advantageous in any way to the Teutonic Reich or any association, body or organisation therein;
