Constitution Day of the Republic of Belarus is
observed every year on 15 March. The
Constitution is the Basic Law of the state, which underlies the entire
legislation system.
The Constitution is the Fundamental
Law of the State. The modern Constitution of the Republic of
Belarus was adopted on 15 March 1994. It was amended during the national
referendums of 24 November 1996, 17 October 2004 and 27 February 2022. This is
the fifth Constitution in the history of Belarus (after the October Revolution
of 1917).
The Belarus Constitution centres
around 3 key elements:

of rights and freedoms

a new state mechanism

of new laws and a new justice system
The new Constitution of
Belarus came into force on 15 March 2022. It was amended as a result
of the national referendum that took place on 27 February

fundamental law, 83 articles were amended and supplemented. The biggest changes
were made to the articles related to the system of government, namely the
status, formation and powers of the Belarusian People’s Congress that became
the supreme representative body of people’s power.
