The Constitution is the highest legal authority in the State. Everyone is obliged to comply with it. The actions of State bodies, its directors, officials, and employees, as well as those of organizations, entities, and individuals, must be in accordance with its provisions.
The Constitution establishes Cuba as a socialist state of workers that is independent and sovereign. It is organized with “all and for the good of all” as a unitary and democratic republic for the enjoyment of political freedom, social justice, individual and collective welfare, and human solidarity.
