Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Infobox holiday Constitution Day (Шаблон:Lang-uk) is a Ukrainian public holiday celebrated on 28 June since 1996.[1][2] It commemorates the anniversary of the approval by the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) of the Constitution of Ukraine on 28 June 1996.[2][3]
History
51 hours after taking office as President of Ukraine, after winning the 1994 Ukrainian presidential election, Leonid Kuchma created the Constitutional Commission, which led to the adoption of a constitution of Ukraine in 1996.[4] (At the time the 1978 Constitution of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic was in force in Ukraine.[5]) The Constitution was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada at 9:20 am on 28 June 1996 after deputies had worked all day and all night on the project, remaining in the session hall without breaks.[6] 315 people's deputies, out of a needed 300, voted for the adoption of the Basic Law.[6] Constitution Day did become a public holiday in Ukraine because its foundation was enshrined in the constitution itself (it is the only public holiday that is mentioned in the constitution).[7] Soviet Constitution day (7 October) was never observed in the Ukrainian SSR (the predecessor of modern Ukraine).[8]
