| Shrnutí: | The founders of the Democratic Republic of Georgia (1918-1921) considered the
drafting of the basic law of the country, the Constitution, to be particularly important
and saw its adoption as the most significant event after the Declaration of Independence.
The Constituent Assembly of Georgia (1919-1921) drafted and adopted the Georgian
Constitution on 21 February 1921, which holds its honorable place in the history of
world constitutionalism. It is based on two basic principles – the freedom of the nation
and the freedom of an individual. The Constitution provided solid foundation for the
development of the Georgian state with its coherent democratism. In Soviet times, the
1921 Constitution was a symbol of what the Georgian State should have been like. And
after the restoration of independence, it was indisputable, that the 1921 Constitution
had to serve as the basis for the new constitution of the country.
