What is the significance of independence in framing a constitution?

A constitution is only meaningful when it springs from true independence; without inner freedom, it becomes a prison of borrowed ideologies.

— Osho
According to Osho, a constitution has value only when born from independence—outer freedom rooted in inner freedom. If people are dependent on past authorities, fear, or borrowed ideologies, their constitution becomes a prison. Independence allows creativity, protects the individual before the state, honors dissent, and keeps the document living, flexible, and humane, reflecting consciousness rather than conditioning.

Rules should be made by free, awake people, not by fear or old bosses.
