Considering that we recently passed the 39th anniversary of the adoption of the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan, I figured it would be a worthwhile exercise to amend a few sentences from the Preamble to the Constitution to make it amenable to principles of democracy and the vision laid out by Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah for a prosperous Pakistan. Strikeouts indicate what I would take out and parts in bold font indicate parts i would add in

12th April, 1973
