Article 9 - Essential Infrastructure

Essential infrastructure shall be recognized as common good. They provide access to citizens’ fundamental guarantees, enables mutual duties, and sustains the institutions of the branches of government.

Society will provide reliable delivery systems for water, energy, shelter, and public safety so that no individual lacks essential means or bodily security. It will guarantee universally accessible digital platforms and common gathering spaces to protect freedom of opinion and access to knowledge. Society will establish transportation and communication networks that allow movement, enable participation in public life, and connect all households. Civic obligations—contributing resources, engaging in public affairs, sharing knowledge, and stewarding shared resources—will be facilitated by adaptable communal venues and secure online forums and tools designed to serve every generation without excess.

Through this essential infrastructure, society will also sustain each branch of government. All such facilities—whether physical, virtual, or hybrid—must be capable of serving multiple generations and facilitating public oversight.
