2. Human life
 
  2.1 Human life in general  
  Article 58-Standards of human being  
58.1 Standards of human being  
  The standards of a human being are those standards by which an enlightened, just and modern society sets rules for the conduct, rights and support of all human beings.  
58.2 Standards of human being as guiding benchmarks  
  The standards of a human being are guiding benchmarks by which all the laws of Americas Union must meet and support. It is from these benchmarks that all other laws relating to human beings must meet and be sourced.  
  A law that contradicts these standards is itself out of order and therefore liable to be read down by a court of law or repealed by a fair parliament.  
58.3 Structure of standards of human life  
  The standards of human life are structured into four major sections:  
  Standards of a human child  
  Standards of a human adult  
  Standards of a human elder  
  Standards of a disabled human being  
  The reason why the standards are divided into these four major sections is in recognition that while society has essential standards applying to all human baings it has further refined and unique standards applying to human beings at different ages and with different qualities.  
  Therefore, the division of the standards into these four major sections enables these distinct aspects demanded by a fair and enlightened society to be incorporated.
