      Couldn’t we just add equality for sexual orientation and gender expression to a new list of rights, along with the things already mentioned?

      OP even said, “Today one could improve on it,” implying that the referenced constitution isn’t meant to be a comprehensive list for the modern day.

Sure, it should have done better, but there are limitations to ideology when lessentially your entire ideological base members die in the struggle against the Nazis due to being the first to volunteer.
