Chisinau, 29 July /MOLDPRES/ - Moldova marks the 28th anniversary of the Constitution’s adoption today.

The Constitution consists of eight titles and is divided into chapters and sections. The Constitution’s preamble highlights the century-old aspirations of the people to live in a sovereign country, the aspirations to meet the interests of the citizens.  

The Constitution also emphasizes the aspiration to edify a rule of law state, describing the civic peace, democracy, human dignity, his/her rights and freedoms, the free development of the human personality, justice and political pluralism as supreme values, reaffirms the devotion of the MPs, in their capacity of plenipotentiary representatives of Moldova’s people, to the generally human values, the wish to live in peace and good understanding with all nations of the world, according to the unanimously recognized principles and norms of the international law, with the lawmakers being aware of the responsibility and duties for the previous, present and next generations.

The Constitution is the state’s fundamental law, which defines the state’s powers, its main principles of work and goals. It contains the most important principles of the economic, political, social and legal life, as well as the values on which our country is based: separation of state powers, the citizens’ fundamental rights and freedoms, the independence of justice, political pluralism, etc. The Constitution is the legal basis of the entire legislation, all the institutional and normative ensemble is based on it.   

The fundamental law is a corpus of principles and norms which opened the way for the self-assertion of the fundamental values of the rule of law state and of the market economy, a guarantee of the fundamental human rights, as well as of the work of the state’s basic institutions, providing the framework needed for the creation of a governance system based on the inalienable rights of the mankind: life, freedom and looking for happiness.  

Moldova’s Constitution is the document with the greatest authority of regulation in the public, political and social life of the country. A symbol of the people’s struggle for freedom, democracy and human rights, the Constitution reminds each citizen the holy duty to faithfully serve the Motherland, to defend at any price the unity, sovereignty and independence of Moldova.  

The significance of Moldova’s Constitution consists in its important functions: it makes a synthesis of the processes and events from the people’s history in the struggle for the society’s democratization, expresses the people’s goals and wishes, establishes the character and limits of the state power, is a concept on the relations in the society.
