What is 1977 Constitution of the Soviet Union?
The '''1977 Soviet Constitution''' was the final constitution of the [[USSR]] in effect from 1977 until the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. It was also called the '''Constitution of Developed Socialism''' because the [[preamble]] to the 1977 Soviet Constitution says ''The aim of the [[dictatorship of the proletariat]] having been fulfilled, the Soviet State has become the state of the whole people, representing everyone, not just the workers and [[peasant]]s alone'' The 1977 Constitution also led to some [[decentralization]] of powers from the central [[Soviet Communist Party]] to the governments underneath it. This constitution began to allow limited [[private]] [[enterprise]], and loosened the hours citizens were required to work at state enterprises, especially during the reign of [[Mikhail Gorbachev]]. After Dissolution of USSR, Russia still used the 1977 Soviet Constitution until a [[:en:Constitution of Russia|new Constitution]] was adopted after [[:en:1993 Russian constitutional crisis|1993 crisis]] [[Category:1977]] [[Category:History of the Soviet Union]] [[Category:Constitutions of the Soviet Union]] {{politics-stub}}
