Six —

Seven plays in

Seven — 
Upholding national unity is an obligation of state and society ... To that end, the values of tolerance and moderation shall be spread, and the rights and freedoms of all citizens shall be protected without discrimination.

Ten — 
Peace based on justice for the whole world, political and social progress for all peoples. ...

On Edit:

Article 6 
The political system is based on the principles of democracy and shura (counsel), citizenship (under which all citizens are equal in rights and duties ....

Article 10
The family is the basis of the society and is founded on religion, morality and patriotism. ...

The State shall ensure maternal and child health services free of charge, and enable the reconciliation between the duties of a woman toward her family and her work. 

The State shall provide special care and protection to female breadwinners, divorced women and widows.
