Preamble
''For the protection of freedom, the protection of soul and heart and the freedom of choice, the Helvetian people of the Central Valley, do declare that the freedom of man is a God given right and that this document does install this into stone of the Serra. From His divine Providence, He mandated that mankind be able to choose his own destiny, that the fertile soil of this Valley be toiled by mans own sweat and brow, that good men of hard work should be able to prosper. In this, we also believe in the virtues of Altruism, that self sacrifice for our brethren also be respected, that good men of God respect Christs wishes that we are responsible for our earthly family. Justice for man is essential in nature and that all enslaved must be freed. We, the people of the New Helventia Confederation do declare sovereignty from the California Soviet, and the United Soviet Socialist Republics. ''
