The draft constitution's structure (see Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe) is slightly complicated. It is divided into four parts, each of them with a number of articles, which are referred to as x (or I-x), II-y, III-z or IV-w for each respective part, where each of x, y, z and w are article numbers.
Within each part, there are a number of titles. Each title may have chapters, chapters may have sections and sections may have sub-sections. These divisions are independent of article number within each of the four parts.
Additions to the structure All upper-case titles have been converted to mixed-case for ease of reading. Where there is text within sections, it is wikipedia commentary, not taken from the constitution or other sources unless otherwise indicated.
