On constitutions (no mention of USA here :O) Constitutions give folks a sense of belonging and some ideals to live up to... but sometimes rules are .... uh bent ..

Article 10. Land in the cities is owned by the state. Land in the rural and suburban areas is owned by collectives except for those portions which belong to the state in accordance with the law; house sites and private plots of cropland and hilly land are also owned by collectives. The state may in the public interest take over land for its use in accordance with the law. No organization or individual may appropriate, buy, sell or lease land, or unlawfully transfer land in other ways. All organizations and individuals who use land must make rational use of the land.

That is from the Chinese Constitution
