An integral part of the history of Ukrainian constitutions is the

acts of the constitutional essence of the Carpathian Ukraine (in
particular, the Provisional Constitution of the Carpathian Ukraine of
1939) and the documents of the Ukrainian Main Liberation Council

(UHVR) of 1940-1950, (in particular, the Provisional Order of the
UHVR of 1944). The Constitution of the Ukrainian SSR of 1919 (its
version from 1925), 1929, 1937 and 1978 also influenced the history
of the Ukrainian constitutions.

After the re-establishment of Ukraine's state independence in
1991, a diligent work aimed at creating a new constitution of Ukraine
began, which ended with its adoption on June 28, 1996. June 28 was

proclaimed a state holiday – the Day of the Constitution of Ukraine.
