The Constitution of Belarus is the supreme law of Belarus. Adopted in 1994, three years after Belarus declared its independence from the Soviet Union, this formal document establishes the framework of the Belarusian state and government and enumerates the rights and freedoms of its citizens. The contents of the Constitution include the preamble, nine sections (including eight chapters) and one hundred and forty-six articles.
