The purpose of the very short amendment was to give all citizens the right to own three properties, which previously had belonged only to MOTCs, and to clarify another sentence in the Constitution. It gave citizens the right to: 1.
* To have a number of residences in Lovia, but no more than three. 2.
* To participate in federal and state politics and to be a candidate in any Lovian election, unless he or she does not meet the requirements.
