(Thin abolishes parochial school.) Article 6 The State shall not permit any contract, covenant or agreement to be carried out, having for its object the abridgment, loss or irrevocable sacrifice of the liberty of man, whether by reason of labor, education or religious vows.

The law, therefore, does not recognize the establishment of monastic orders of whatever denomination, or for whatever purpose contemplated. (Thin abolishes monasteries.) Article 24 Every religious act of public worship shall be performed strictly within the places of publicvorship, which shall be at all times under government supervision. (This abolishes religious parades to shrines.) ASSUMES RIGHT TO DIVIDE ESTATES Article 27 The ownership of lands and waters within the limits of the national territory is vested originally in the Nation, which has had and has the right to transmit title thereof to private persons, thereby constituting private property. The Nation shall have at all times the right to impose on private property such limitations as the public interest may demand as well as the right to regulate the development of natural resources in order to conserve them and equitably distribute public wealth. For this purpose necessary measures shall be taken to divide large landed estates.

The religious associations known as churches, irrespective of creed, shall in no case have legal capacity to acquire, hold or administer real property or loans made on such real property. All such real property or loans as may be at present held by the said religious associations either on their own behalf or through third parties, shall vest in the Nation, and anyone shall have the right to denounce property so held. DECLARES CHURCHES NATION'S PROPERTY Places of worship are the property of the Nation, as represented by the Federal Government, which shall determine which of them may continue to be devoted to their present purposes. Episcopal residences, rectories, seminaries, orphan asylums or collegiate establishments of religious associations, convents or any other buildings built or designed for the administration, propaganda or teaching the tenets of any religious sect, shall forthwith vest at of full right directly in the Nation. During the next Constitutional term the Congress and the State legislatures shall enact laws within their respective jurisdictions for the purpose of carrying out the division of large landed estates.

In each State and Territory there shall be fixed the maximum area of land which any one individual or legally organized corporation may own. The excess shall be divided.
