| - Human and civil rights in the Kingdom of Washingtonia remain a controversial matter for the conservative Western nation. Although government corruption is moderate to low and the most fundamental human rights are upheld, the people, especially minorities (moreover LGBT-persons) and women, have very limited civil liberties. The Constitution affords many rights to citizens contained within Chapter 2 (the Bill of Rights), however, Section 2 of Chapter 1 (Basic provisions), establishes the Christian God as the highest and sovereign power in Washingtonia.

| - Human and civil rights in the Kingdom of Washingtonia remain a controversial matter for the conservative Western nation. Although government corruption is moderate to low and the most fundamental human rights are upheld, the people, especially minorities (moreover LGBT-persons) and women, have very limited civil liberties. The Constitution affords many rights to citizens contained within Chapter 2 (the Bill of Rights), however, Section 2 of Chapter 1 (Basic provisions), establishes the Christian God as the highest and sovereign power in Washingtonia. On appeal, in Reynolds vs. Minister (Interior), 09-2005 CC, the Constitutional Court held that the Bill of Rights must be read along with the Bible, and because of Section 2 of Chapter 1, the Bible will take precedence (in Reynolds vs. Minister (Interior), 17-2005 SC the lower Supreme Court held that it goes against "national morals [interest]" to allow for homosexual activities). Homosexual activities in its entirety are, therefore, against the law in Washingtonia, punishable by a fine or community service.
