# The constitution of X1

### 1. Freedom of Individual Agency

All individuals have the right to communicate, transact, and interact freely in a decentralized, permissionless manner without interference and censorship from centralized authorities.

### 2. Self-Custody and Ownership

Every participant retains full control over their digital assets, data, and private information. No entity can seize or alter an individual’s property without their explicit consent.

### 3. Privacy as a Choice

Participants have the option to protect their personal information, activities, and financial interactions. This is achieved through encryption and other cryptographic methods, allowing individuals to maintain control over how much of their identity is revealed.

### 4. Transparency and Accountability via Code

X1 advocates for open-source, verifiable smart contracts and cryptographic protocols where trust is embedded in technology rather than fallible human intermediaries.

### 5. Evolution Through Innovation

X1 is committed to the continuous evolution of cryptographic methods, decentralized technology, and blockchain innovations, adapting to new challenges and fostering a future where freedom, privacy, and decentralization thrive.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.x1.xyz/readme/the-constitution-of-x1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
