TEXT С. THE CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE: HISTORICAL ASPECT.
For the first time the idea of a Constitution appeared in Aristotle's classification of government. The modem idea of a Constitution came after the Reformation started by Luther in 1517. John Lock was the author of the American Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and French Declaration of the Rights of a Man.
The first constitutional document in the history of Ukrainian people was the Constitution of Bendery, 1710. Hetman Pylyp Orlik was its initiator. He himself, his officers and Zaporozhsky Cossacks had created it. That constitution consisted of 16 Articles. Articles 4-5 reflected interests of Zaporozhsky Cossacks. Article 6 limited Hetman’s powers and established unique Cossack's parliament.
