Constitution

The year 2019 marks the 24th anniversary of the Constitution of Kazakhstan. Twenty four years ago, Kazakhstan’s Constitution laid the foundation for democracy and rule of law in Central Asia. Kazakhstan’s Constitution was drafted with the ideals of freedom, equality and concord at the forefront. The 9 sections of Kazakhstan’s Constitution address the citizenry and executive, legislative and judicial branches.

Kazakhstan’s Constitution is a historic document - a first of its kind for Central Asian nations. The Preamble expresses beautifully the spirit that Kazakhs citizens embrace their modern Republic, honor the Khanates that preceded, and are mindful of the generations to come.
