The Constitution of the Volkian Federative Republic (Volkian: Конституция Волкскийская Федеративная Республика, tr. Konstitutsiya Volkskiyskaya Federativnaya Respublika) is the supreme law of Volkia. It was adopted by national referendum on April 3, 1888 and last amended on March 2, 1975.
The text was drafted at the 1887 Volkian Federal Republic Convention, which was attended by nearly 250 participants consisting of various legal scholars and representatives from the oblasts of the former Kingdom of Volkia. Aleksey Zukov, Stepan Ulyashin, Luka Moroshkin, and Vasily Tolmachyov are all considered the primary co-authors of the constitution.
The draft text was then put to a referendum held in Volkia on April 3, 1888. Of all registered voters, 61.7% (or 10,716,981) participated in the referendum. Of those, 6,698,113 (62.5%) voted for the adoption of the Constitution.
