Why hasn't anyone ask about the country ?
Are people from Lituania supposed to want the same as people from Brazil ?
It doesn't actually matter. Policies are policies and rights are rights regardless of country.
I speak with an American bias and assume everyone is speaking with bias from their home countries. That can't be helped.
I and many others have taken to writing out our ideas under the assumption that this takes place in a hypothetical future, or at least will apply in the future, when space travel is a thing.
It does matter. Policies are different in different countries partially because different folks have different expectations. Autonomous states? One state? Centralised administration? Descentralised administration? Culture plays a big role in which you would prefere.
Geography also matter. Borders can not be consider the same if you are inland, on an island or your country is an achipelago.
In some country, cold weather can be so hard that heating is essential to survival. In other, people could sleep all year long directly on the ground without catching a cold. Do your constitution should considere access to heating and warm cloth for all citizens ?
