Article 22a of the Liberian Constitution states: “Every person shall have the right to own property alone as well as in association with others;” while Article 27b states, “In order to preserve, foster and maintain the positive Liberian culture, values and character, only persons who are Negroes or of Negro descent shall qualify by birth or by naturalization to be citizens of Liberia.”
