(5) Complete Autonomy for the States

The right of every Constituent State, (including Burma State, which shall be established), to complete autonomy shall be spelled out in the new Constitution. The basic Law shall require that there shall be no interference by the Central Government or by any other State in the internal affairs of any State.
Since the revised new Constitution of the Union of Burma will be of the genuine federal type, the States shall each have their own State Constitution, their own State Legislative assembly, their own separate State Government, and their own State Constitution, their own State Legislative assembly, their own separate institute Judiciary and Courts of Law, provided that these State institution are not inconsistent with the Central Union Constitution.
For those peoples who lack the qualifications to form a State, National Areas shall be established, and guarantees for protecting their national rights shall be entrenched in the new Constitution.
In revising the Constitution, it will be worse than useless to try to conduct a mere patch-up job by tinkering with the defective sections mentioned above. What is needed here is to discard altogether the old Constitution as well as the principle on which it is based, and to replace it with a completely different Constitution, based on genuine federal principles.
