1977 Soviet Constitution -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Adoption of the Constitution was a legislative act of the Supreme Soviet. |
 | | The Constitutional Oversight Committee, composed of people who were not in the Congress of People's Deputies, was established and given formal power to review the constitutionality of laws and normative acts of the central and republic governments and to suggest their suspension and repeal. |
 | | Unlike bourgeois democratic constitutions, the Soviet Constitution placed limitations on political rights, whereas in bourgeois democratic countries these limitations are usually left up to the federal legislative or judicial systems, or state constitutions and their corresponding executive, legislative and judicial systems. |
