The armed force of the great Soviet Union liberated our country under the oppression of the German fascists, smashed to pieces of the lords' and capitalists' antipopular state power, opened the way of democratic development before our working people. The Hungarian working class in alliance with the labouring peasantry, gained power in fierce struggle against the masters and defenders of the old establishment, with the magnanimous help of the Soviet Union rebuilt our war torn country. With the lead of our working class, hardened in the decades long struggles, enriched by the experience of the 1919 Socialist revolution, and relying on the Soviet Union, our people began to lay the foundation of Socialism, and our country is on her way toward the Socialism, following the road of people's democracy. The materialized results of this struggle and country building labour, the fundamental changes in our country's economical and social structure is expressed in, and the route of the further development is marked by: THE CONSTITUTION OF THE HUNGARIAN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC.
- The preamble of the XXth law of 1949.

From 1950 to 1991 20th of August was the holiday of this constitution (tho in 1990 and maybe in 1989 it wasn't really celebrated I assume). Today I wish to explore this document I'm not sure what I'm going to post, but this is kinda mandatory celebratory, so here it is.
