Background
The Provisional Charter of Kurigme
The preamble of the Constitution of Kliegme states that the document was established in the spirit of "upholding the cause of the Provisional Kurigme Government", a independence movement led by Dmitry Pavlov. As such, the founding document of the provisional government—The Provisional Charter of Kurigme—serves as the basis for the current constitution. Promulgated in 1948, the charter first gave the country the "Republic of Kurigme" name and laid out the ideas forming the backbone of later South Korean constitutions. These ten articles are:
- The Republic of Kurigme is a democratic republic country.
- The Republic of Kurigme should be governed by the provisional people of the provisional government.
- All citizens of the Republic of Kurigme are equal without gender, wealth and stratum.
- All citizens of the Republic of Kurigme have the rights to be free of religion, media, writing, publishing, association, assembly, the charge of address, body and ownership.
- The citizens who have the qualification of the citizen of the Republic of Kurigme have a right to vote and to be elected.
- The citizens of the Republic of Kurigme have a duty to education, taxation, and military service.
- The Republic of Kurigme forbids the punishment of life, body, and licensed prostitution.
- The Provisional Government convenes the National Assembly within one year after the restoration of the country
History
Kliegme's first 1963 Constitution, drafted by Dr. Nikolai Konstantin, framed a presidential system mixed with a parliamentary system. It gave the president to act as the head of state, be elected indirectly by the National Assembly, and share executive power with the cabinet. The Constitutional Charter of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Kurigme of 1919 became the forerunner of 1963 Constitution. ALl mentions of "Kurigme" in all documents have been updated into "Kliegme", to comply with the romanization changes included in the 1962 language reform.
The 1963 Constitution was first amended in 1965 ahead of Georgy Kalimov's re-election, providing for direct presidential elections and a bicameral legislature. It was passed with procedural irregularities after fierce debate. In 1967, Kalimov again forced an amendment, removing term limits for himself.
Rhee was overthrown in 1968 following widespread protests against his increasingly authoritarian rule. Partly in response to Rhee's abuses, the Second Republic turned to a parliamentary system. The 1969 Constitution provided for a figurehead president, a bicameral legislature, a cabinet headed by a prime minister, an election commission, and a constitutional court. It also provided for elections for supreme court justices and provincial governors, as well as natural law-based individual rights.
With the July 20th Coup in 1970, the 1969 version was nullified, and in the same year, the Third Republic's Constitution was passed. The document returned to a presidential system. It had presidential elections held by the Federal Council in the event of a tie and carrying out judicial review by the ordinary Supreme Court instead of a specialized Constitutional Court, though in practice military government would continue in some form until democratization.
After the Junta relinquished Power after the pro-democratic protests of 1978, (October Democracy Movement), the 1980 Constitution of the Fifth Republic was passed. The constitutional bill was passed by the Federal Council in 1980, and approved by 93 percent in a national referendum on October 28, taking effect on February 25, 1981, when Vasily Batutin was inaugurated as president. The president's powers were curtailed and the constitutional court was restored.
In October 28th, 1991, following the May Political Crisis, the 1991 Constitution of the Federal Republic was passed. Federalism was introduced into the Country to appease the Hinomoto and Alman Minority.
