3 Principles of constitutional interpretation 3.—(1) Any person interpreting or applying this Constitution must promote the spirit, purpose and objects of this Constitution as a whole, and the values that underlie a democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom. (2) If a law appears to be inconsistent with a provision of this Constitution, the court must adopt a reasonable interpretation of that law that is consistent with the provisions of this Constitution over an interpretation that is inconsistent with this Constitution. (3) This Constitution is to be adopted in the English language and translations in the iTaukei and Hindi languages are to be made available. (4) If there is an apparent difference between the meaning of the English version of a provision of this Constitution, and its meaning in the iTaukei and Hindi versions, the English version prevails. Secular State 4.—(1) Religious liberty, as recognised in the Bill of Rights, is a founding principle of the State. (2) Religious belief is personal. (3) Religion and the State are separate, which means— (a) the State and all persons holding public office must treat all religions equally; (b) the State and all persons holding public office must not dictate any religious belief; (c) the State and all persons holding public office must not prefer or advance, by any means, any particular religion, religious denomination, religious belief, or religious practice over another, or over any non-religious belief; and (d) no person shall assert any religious belief as a legal reason to disregard this Constitution or any other law. Citizenship 5.—(1) All citizens of Fiji shall be known as Fijians. (2) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, all Fijians have equal status and identity, which means that they are equally— (a) entitled to all the rights, privileges and benefits of citizenship; and (b) subject to the duties and responsibilities of citizenship. (3) Citizenship of Fiji shall only be acquired by birth, registration or naturalisation.
