Constitution of the Ukrainian People's Republic
The Constitution of Ukrainian People's Republic (Ukrainian: Конституція Української Народної Республіки, romanized: Konstytutsiia Ukrainskoi Narodnoi Respubliky) is a constitutional document approved by the Central Council of Ukraine on April 29, 1918, but never promulgated. Hence the document never acquired the legal power. Nevertheless, it remains an important document from the period of the Ukrainian People's Republic from 1917-1918.
