The constitution of Ukraine

Every civilized nation, every state in the world is governed by a set of basic laws and principles known as a constitution. In some state the constitution is a specific written document, in others it is a collection of documents, statutes and traditional practices that are generally accepted as governing political matters.

The Ukrainian Constitution has a long history. The first legal document of Kyiv Rus' was "The Rus" Truth" code, written in the 12"' century according to the order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise. In 1710 the Zaporizhian Hetman Pylyp Orlyk wrote his « Pacts and Constitutions of Laws and Liberties of the Zaporizka Host”. The document was adopted on April 5, 1710 and is considered to be the first democratic constitution in Europe. The constitutional practice during liberation struggle of 1917-1920 is connected with publishing the legal acts I, II, III, IV of the Universals. The main document of Western Ukrainian People's Republic that appeared at the end of 1918 as a result of the disintegration of the Austro-Hungary Empire was a "Provisional Law about Administration of WUPR".

During the years of the Bolsheviks’ power Ukraine had 4 Constitutions (1919, 1929, 1937, 1978) but they were more ideological documents than legal ones.That was not until June 28, 1996 that the Supreme Rada of Ukraine adopted the Fundamental Law of an independent Ukraine. The 28^th of June has since been proclaimed a state holiday. The adoption of the new Constitution of Ukraine was a significant event in the life of all Ukrainian people. It opened a new glorious page in the history of our country. Millions of Ukrainian citizens took part in the discussion of the Draft of the Constitution of a sovereign state; most of them approved the Fundamental Law of our country.

Now when our country has established friendly relations with many countries throughout the world, the adoption of the Constitution is very important because Ukraine is recognized now as a state that has not only its government, its higher and local bodies of state power, its state symbols but its own Constitution as well.

All the people in Ukraine believe that the adoption of the Constitution will be a landmark on the way to stabilization of the national economy. Our Constitution proclaims and guarantees real rights and freedoms for the citizens of Ukraine; it defines their duties as well.

The Ukrainian Constitution consists of a preamble, 14 chapters that contain 161 articles and the fifteenth chapter called "Transitional provisions".
