I read the Estonian Constitution some time ago, looking for their equivalent of our Second Amendment; and I found this:

54. It is the duty of each citizen of Estonia to be loyal to the constitutional order and to defend the independence of Estonia.

In the absence of other means of opposing a forcible attempt to change the constitutional order of Estonia, every citizen of Estonia has the right to resist such an attempt of his or her own initiative.

I was reading it last night. The first thing that struck me is the humdrum, pedestrian and downright boring language. It has none of the beautiful, soaring language of the U.S. Constitution, especially the Preamble.

The second thing was the amount of detail it had. It was less a broad guideline than a detailed list. It reads like a shopping list.

The third was “free” education is guaranteed.

Fourth was the lack of a 2A. Like you, I was looking specifically to find that. At least they didn’t ban weapons outright.
