Socialist Constitution Under Absolute Support of People

December 27 is a historic day when the Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) was promulgated.

The Socialist Constitution promulgated in 1972 is the law of people that President Kim Il Sung personally wrote provision by provision.

After the demise of President Kim Il Sung, Chairman Kim Jong Il formulated the constitution into Kim Il Sung Constitution by adding to the constitution a preface that stipulates the immortal exploits of President Kim Il Sung.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un codified the Juche-oriented ideas of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il on state building and their exploits in it. And in April 2012, he named the constitution Kim Il Sung-Kim Jong Il Constitution.

The Socialist Constitution is composed of preface, 7 Chapters, and 172 articles. It is unparalleled in formation and content, as they are totally of our own style, unlike from the constitutions of other countries which stipulate the organization system and authority of the state. Thus, as a law of people, it has received the absolute support of our people during the last 5 decades.

The superiority of a certain law depends on how thoroughly it safeguards the sovereign rights and interests of the popular masses in terms of law.
This year alone witnessed a great variety of stories about the people’s joy and their gratitude toward the socialist system

A modern street of the people has been built in the Capital, a new era of rural rejuvenation is being opened up and villages and streets have become brighter with the laughter of the children who receive dairy products under our Party’s love for posterity and with the beaming faces of students in their new school uniforms.

The international community is sparing no admiration and compliment before the proud reality unfolding in all parts of our country.

A Brazilian figure said as follows: In Brazil, many people became homeless due to floods and landslides in the past year. But, many people, ordinary working people in particular, are provided with new homes free of charge in Korea, and it is just hard to believe. Such miracle is possible only in the DPRK upholding an outstanding leader in high esteem.

As it is highly praised by the international community, the genuine rights and happiness, and the brilliant future of our people are firmly guaranteed by our Socialist Constitution. With such a powerful weapon of law, our people are vigorously advancing toward the great prosperity of our country.
