The Constitution is the main law of each state.

Each state enters into the Constitution the principles, according to which it lives.

That’s why the Constitution is an integral part of the life of each state.

The Constitution of Ukraine was adopted on the 28th of June, 1996.

It confirmed the main principles of our state, the rights, freedoms and duties of every citizen.

It determines the order of the President elections, elections into the Verkhovna Rada, state symbols, independence and sovereignty of Ukraine.

The Constitution proclaims the freedom of speech, outlook and religion.

The church and different religious organizations are separated from the state, and from the school.

That’s why it is impossible to make any religion compulsory or state.

But the church and religion are not isolated from the society.

The Constitution also proclaims the right for political unions, meetings and demonstrations and participation in governing the state.

The duties of the citizens are also included into the Constitution.

The family, childhood, maternity and paternity are guarded by the state.

The military service and tax payment are also the duties of the citizens.

Each citizen must observe the Con-stitution, preserve the freedoms and rights of other people and carry out his own duties.
