About this statute

This text publishes the revised Constitution and states basic rules on rights, government, parliament, courts, and amendment procedures. This provision sets several constitutional rules: the King must protect freedoms and rights and act for the common welfare; the States-General and their members must perform specific oath and recognition steps at the King’s inauguration; treaty approval can be express or tacit with a 30-day period and some exceptions; and in certain emergencies conscripts may be called to arms by royal decree.
