The civil officers receive special representation in their official capacity in accordance with more precise provisions of national law. ARTICLE 131 If a civil officer in the exercise of the authority conferred upon him by law fails to perform his official duty toward any third person, the responsibility is assumed by the state or public corporation in whose service the officer is. The right of redress [by the state or public corporation] against the officer is reserved. The ordinary process of law may not be excluded. Detailed regulations will be made by the appropriate law-making authority. ARTICLE 132 Every German, in accordance with the laws, has the duty of accepting honorary offices. ARTICLE 133 All citizens are obliged, in accordance with the laws, to render personal services to the state and the municipality. The duty of military service will be defined in accordance with the provisions of the national defense law. This will determine also how far particular fundamental rights shall be restricted in their application to the members of the armed forces in order that the latter may fulfill their duties and discipline may be maintained. ARTICLE 134 All citizens, without distinction, contribute according to their means to the support of all public burdens, as may be provided by law. _SECTION III_ RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES ARTICLE 135 All inhabitants of the Commonwealth enjoy complete liberty of belief and conscience. The free exercise of religion is assured by the Constitution and is under public protection. This Article leaves the general laws undisturbed. ARTICLE 136 Civil and political rights and duties are neither conditioned upon nor limited by the exercise of religious liberty. The enjoyment of civil and political rights as well as eligibility to public office is independent of religious belief. No one is under any obligation to reveal his religious convictions. The authorities have a right to inquire about religious affiliation only so far as rights and duties are dependent thereon or in pursuance of a statistical enumeration prescribed by law. No one may be forced to attend any church ceremony or festivity, to take part in any religious exercise, or to make use of any religious oath. ARTICLE 137 There is no state church. Freedom of association in religious societies is guaranteed. The combination of religious societies within the Commonwealth is not subject to any limitations. Every religious society regulates and administers its affairs independently within the limits of the general law. It appoints its officers without interference by the state or the civil municipality.
