The Virginia Constitution of 1971 added several rights, including the right to a free public education, which emphasized the state's commitment to ensuring educational opportunities for all citizens. It also reinforced individual rights such as the right to vote and protections against discrimination. Additionally, the constitution established provisions for the protection of privacy and property rights. These additions aimed to enhance civil liberties and social justice within the state.
