I'm personally not sure why there should be anything else in a Constitution than the [Golden Rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule).

If it helps I am a lawyer, with some experience of Constitutional Law. (Please note my law firm's address at 122,-7 as we have an office there). Your we intentioned call does have challenges from a DAO perspective, namely, from an enforcement point of view. Essentially, is someone wants to do something in Decentraland, and they pay for it themselves then the only constitutional boundary is the underlying code. Much of the voting in this part of the metaverse is about the expenditure of funds held in trust, which is rightly voted on. If a Constitution is created, how is it formed and how is it enforced? Does Decentraland want to establish a court of Constitutional oversight? If so how it selected and what powers will it have? Will it be able to expel? (Which would amount to an avatar death sentence), and how would you stop the real person from coming back with a new avatar? These questions an a whole lot more would need to be answered before such an approach would be available. A great deal of thinking (and probably coding) would be needed for such a proposal to work.
