I saw that Constitution and read it briefly.
It's not worth the paper it's printed on. I am a dumb ignorant American and even I can see that. It's not fit to wipe your ass with.
It is of my own personal opinion that if followed, said document would only aid in the rise of new aristocracy. State sponsored aristocracy. With how responsibilities are to be handled, and the delagation of said tasks, it would be all to easy for a few states, er, nations, er, I dunno what to call them. Former nationalised entities? I will use states as an example. A few states could gang up quite easily and strong arm the low man on the totem pole into handling all the grunt work. The state, or states, put into this constant back breaking labour, would never reap their own rewards, but the bully robber barrons acting under the law and abusing the system, would have the most to gain. A collective of states could force the poorest and least capable states into sending the most troops into a war... Further wrecking said weak states economy, and giving stronger states a greater advantage and clout. Smaller weaker states would have no choice but to cave in and give the bullies what they want. National identity would be threatened. Soon, said state would only exist as a puppet empire, a hollow shell, a mere finger in the fist of the larger bully state.
I don't like this, and I doubt most Europeans would either, except those with the most to gain.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
