Russian Constitution Of 1906
The Russian Constitution of 1906 refers to a major revision of the 1832 Fundamental Laws of the Russian Empire, which transformed the formerly absolutist state into one in which the emperor agreed for the first time to share his autocratic power with a parliament. It was enacted on 1906, on the eve of the opening of the first State Duma. This first-ever Russian Constitution was a revision of the earlier Fundamental Laws, which had been published as the Code of Laws of the Russian Empire (russian: Свод законов Российской империи, pre-1917 Russian orthography: ''Сводъ законовъ Россійской имперіи'') in 1832. It was granted during the Russian Revolution of 1905, in a last-ditch effort by the imperial government to preserve its own existence and keep the empire from disintegration. The new constitution provided for a bicameral Russian parliament, without whose approval no laws were to be enacted in Russia. This legislature ...

The 1924 Constitution of the Soviet Union was the constitution of the Soviet Union adopted on 31 January 1924.

History of the Constitution The 1924 Constitution was the first constitution of the Soviet Union and ratified by the Second Congress of Soviets.
