Article 39(5) of the FDRE Constitution states that nations, nationalities, and people have the right to self-determination and that they are free to determine their political, economic, social, and cultural systems. The modern thinking of nation and nationalism is based around a shared culture, language, and identity that binds a group together, with a focus on preserving the group's traditions and values. It also promotes national pride and loyalty to the nation. Article 39(5) of the FDRE Constitution provides individuals with the right to choose their own political, economic, social, and cultural systems and thus allows for the preservation of their unique culture, language, and identity while still affording them the rights of self-determination.
