The constitutions take a special place in the world civilization and play an important role in the political history of every country. The constitution of the young independent state of Ukraine is not the exception.

The principles forming the basis of our Constitution conform to the modern democratic norms operating in all developed countries. But we can say with pride that the legal traditions of the Ukrainian people are deeply rooted in the past.

The first constitutions were adopted at the end of the eighteen centuries. The Constitution of the USA was adopted in 1787. In 1791 the Constitution of France and Poland were adopted.

But long before, in 1710, in Bendery city Cossack Rada and Pylyp Orlyk, Getman of Ukraine in expulsion, adopted the document which was the first prototype of modern constitutions. It was called ‘Pacts and Constitutions of Laws and Freedoms of Zaporozhsky Troops’

The Constitution included the preamble and 16 paragraphs. The main principles of construction of the Ukrainian state were formulated there: the role of orthodoxy in state and society, the independence of Ukraine from Poland and Moscow. But the most important achievement of the Constitution was the idea of separation of legislative, executive and judicial powers. This idea reflected the most progressive views of that time on the state building.

Nevertheless, all the attempts to create the independent Ukrainian stat failed. 150 years later, in 1917-1920, the Central Rada, and then Getman Skoropadsky made one more unsuccessful attempt. Only at the end f the 20^th century Ukraine became both the independent state and the full member of the Euroean Council.

Due to this, it was necessary t bring the Ukrainian legislation into accord with European norms. And during the 5^th session of the Verhovna Rada, after the intensive and dramatic debates, which did not stop even a night, the Main Law of Ukraine was adopted. It happened on the 28^th of June, 1996, at 9.20 a.m.

The Constitution of Ukraine includes the preamble and 102 clauses. They reflect the main principles of the state system of Ukraine, the rights and duties of its citizens.
