                                                                                                    3

             (1)  To the extent that, under this Constitution, a fundamental right may be limited by or pursuant to a law, the law
                1
             must apply generally and not only to the individual case.  In addition, the law must mention the fundamental right,
                                                             2
             specifying the article.
             (2) In no case may the essence of a fundamental right be infringed upon.

            1 If a person's rights are violated by public authority, legal recourse shall be open to him.  Insofar as no other
                                                                3

            untouched.

                                                       3.  Section
