It was made explicit in the [URL=http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/russian/const/77cons02.html]USSR's constitution[/URL], but we all know how "equal" they were there — a fulfillment of Churchill's prediction of "equal sharing of misery". [QUOTE]Article 34. Citizens of the USSR are equal before the law, without distinction of origin, social or property status, race or nationality, (gender), education, language, attitude to religion, type and nature of occupation, domicile, or other status. The equal rights of citizens of the USSR are guaranteed in all fields of economic, political, social, and cultural life.[/QUOTE]The European Union also has that "equal before the law" clause in the Charter of Fundamental Rights (Article 20), made binding by the Treaty of Lisbon. (And their government in Brussels is a carbon copy of the Soviet government.) Both the USSR and EU grant rights through the government, as opposed to the Bill of Rights recognizing that the people retain their rights. [/QB][/QUOTE]
