The soviet system of Government was abolished; the Russian constitution is the most long-lived in the history of Russia, next to Stalin's constitution. (1)]]> 2017-11-02 13:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/fumble/e3l4keyjdvqu/wish/202879832 fumble https://padlet.com/fumble/e3l4keyjdvqu/wish/202882235 There is 9 chapters, or sections of the Russian constitution, for a total of 137 articles.

Almost every single chapter refers to the government and/or the constitution. This differs from most countries, like Canada, because ours is a lot of different rights and freedoms that we have that is actually written in different sections.(2) (3)]]> 2017-11-02 13:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/fumble/e3l4keyjdvqu/wish/202886062 fumble https://padlet.com/fumble/e3l4keyjdvqu/wish/203868718 As mentioned previously, Canada has a lot of freedom articles in its charter. Russia has mainly government articles. Canada´s charter came into play April 17th, 1982, while Russia had their constitution enforced December 25th, 1993. So really, Canada had their charter 11 years before Russia had their constitution vote passed, abolishing Stalin´s rule.

This chapter is called ¨Rights and Freedoms of Man and Citizen.¨ This is one of the only chapters referring to the actual rights and freedoms of a person, rather than focusing the constitution on Government. I think that this is the most important section because without it, the entire constitution would be like; ¨you obey the government¨ or ¨The government does whatever it wants¨ etc. Since there is an actual section that covers Russian citizen rights, it gives a similarity to Canada´s charter, being about rights and freedoms of everybody that lives in Canada.

There does not seem to be women’s rights mentioned in the Russian constitution, so I would go more in depth with that, and I would also add stuff more like the Canadian charter such as the right and freedom of speech, gay rights, etc. Russia’s constitution does not endever in any of these topics, which in Russia today is an issue. If I add these simple things into the constitution, maybe some people would like it, but there is always the people who want to keep the old ways and not evolve into something new. However, I believe this would make the constitution much better for Russia as a whole. (1)]]> 2017-11-07 14:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/fumble/e3l4keyjdvqu/wish/204345366 fumble https://padlet.com/fumble/e3l4keyjdvqu/wish/204350484 In conclusion to this poster, the Russian constitution is much different from Canada’s, it focuses on government and has flaws. It does not have the people of Russia as its main concern. However, it’s done some good as well. Consisting of 9 chapters and 137 articles, the Russian constitution has shaped and evolved Russia from Stalin’s rule. So what we can take from this is that Russia is evolving, maybe not as fast as Canada though. Enforced December 25th, 1993, the Russian constitution has a different way of looking at things than us Canadians do.
