The article presents a summary of the new Hungarian constitution. According to it, the Congress of Workers' and Peasants' Councils of Hungary has prepared a draft of a constitution containing 79 paragraphs and divided into seven sections. The first section announces the fundamental principles of the constitution and states that Hungary is to be a Soviet Republic, where the proletariat has taken in its hands all rights, powers, and freedom, in order to abolish the capitalistic system and the rule of the bourgeoisie, and to supplant it with socialist production and social order.
