In Article 1, the delegates said that in terms of territorial integrity, it is necessary to show the geographical location, boundaries, and number of categories from the mainland to the sea and islands. The delegates also gave their opinions on the issue of land and resource management. All opinions agreed that the regulation that land, resources, benefits, and other assets are owned by the entire people and are represented by the State as the owner and managed in a unified manner in Article 37 is the only correct one. In Article 58, considering land as a special resource of the nation is completely correct, but it is also necessary to add that land is also a special means of production of the people so that when compensating, it is necessary to consider creating a new type of means of production for them so that they can soon stabilize their lives...
