It should be noted that the Constitution of Venezuela was based on the Constitution of the United States. …
Which one? The 1999 “Bolivarian Republic” constitution looks absolutely nothing like the US Constitution at all. Article 2 is very socialistic:
Venezuela constitutes itself as a Democratic and Social State of Law and Justice, which holds as superior values of its legal order and actions those of life, liberty, justice, equality, solidarity, democracy, social responsibility and, in general, the preeminence of human rights, ethics and political pluralism. …
Socialist buzzwords aplenty. Furthermore, their bill of rights reads like that of the USSR rather than that of the USA, featuring “positive” liberties (granted by the government) rather than the “negative liberties” (what the government can never do to you because those rights are God-given) that Obama bewailed.

I left Venezuela in 1973 long before the Bolivarian Constitution which was the start of the destruction of Venezuela.
