Agreeing on the structure and content of the amendments and supplements, the opinions also gave specific comments on each article that was requested for amendments and supplements. Some delegates were concerned and suggested that the concept of “part” in Article 9 should be considered: “The Vietnam Fatherland Front is a part of the political system of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, led by the Communist Party of Vietnam…”. If the concept of “part” is used, it will not reflect the role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the political system.

Delegates also expressed their high agreement with the draft resolution amending and supplementing Article 9 of the Constitution, clearly stating that five organizations: Vietnam Trade Union, Vietnam Farmers' Union, Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, Vietnam Women's Union, and Vietnam Veterans' Association are socio-political organizations under the Vietnam Fatherland Front, established on a voluntary basis, representing and protecting the legitimate and legal rights and interests of their members.

At the same time, Article 10 of the Constitution also adds to the role of the Trade Union organization when it stipulates that the Vietnam Trade Union organization is both the representative of workers at the national level in labor relations and further enhances the role of international relations on trade unions.

However, some delegates suggested that it is necessary to add content on the right to participate in supervision, social criticism and organizing emulation movements among workers. This has been implemented very well by the Trade Union in practice and has been recognized by businesses.

Some opinions also suggested clarifying the relationship between the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations and member organizations; proposing research on the People's Police Veterans Association as a socio-political organization or integrating it into the Veterans Association.

Delegates also gave specific comments on Article 84 with the recommendation that it is necessary to clearly stipulate the authority to submit draft laws and ordinances to the National Assembly and the National Assembly Standing Committee. Regarding Article 110, it is necessary to more clearly stipulate the adjustment of administrative boundaries and local governments according to the provisions of the Constitution; and to add provisions on collecting public opinions on the establishment, separation, dissolution, and adjustment of administrative boundaries.

Many delegates commented on Article 115, suggesting that the responsibilities and powers of People's Council delegates to question the Chief Justice of the People's Court and the Chief Prosecutor of the People's Procuracy at all levels be supplemented, in order to promote democracy and help agencies promptly amend and improve the performance of their duties and tasks. This is very important, otherwise it would be a "blank spot" to ensure the improvement of the quality of activities...
