December 27 is the Socialist Constitution Day of the DPRK. (At Korean Revolution Museum)

By Rodong SinmunIt was a historic event of great significance in the development of the DPRK that President Kim Il Sung promulgated "Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea" on Dec. 27, Juche 61 (1972).The promulgation of the Socialist Constitution brought about a powerful weapon for resolutely defending the state and social system of the DPRK and giving full play to the advantages of Korean-style socialism.A great change was effected in all fabrics of state and social life in the wake of the promulgation of the constitution. A revolutionary system and order was established throughout the society, ideological, technological and cultural revolutions powerfully accelerated and the political, economic and military might of the country remarkably augmented. The DPRK ceaselessly created world-startling miracles in all annals of the revolution. It has vigorously advanced along the road of independence, unfazed by the unheard-of blockade and pressure by the hostile forces. An important key to this is its advantageous legislation and social system.The new century of Juche is characterized by the powerful advance of the socialist cause of Juche on a firmer legal foundation.By thoroughly embodying the laws of the state including the constitution of the Republic in all sectors of the revolution and construction, the Korean people have firmly defended and glorified Korean-style socialism, a valuable legacy bequeathed by President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il.(KCNA - December 27, 2019)
