The History of Constitution Day?

After gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Tajikistan entered a period of extreme political instability. A civil war erupted in 1992, lasting until 1997. During this turbulent time, the country lacked a unified legal and institutional framework.

In response, the government initiated the process of creating a new national constitution to establish sovereignty, define democratic governance and promote national unity and peace.

On November 6, 1994, a nationwide referendum was held. Over 96% of voters approved the draft constitution, and the constitution officially came into effect the same day.

This day was declared Constitution Day and later designated as a national public holiday.

Although the Constitution was adopted in 1994, it has been amended several times via referendums over the years.
