| ⚫ | Before the Revolution of Dignity, 2014 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Ukrainian_revolution], many Ukrainians did not use to see it as a holiday. According to surveys about 10% believed it should notbe a day off, but a working day (there were 12% in 2008; this number had shrunk from 14% in 2003).<ref>{{uk icon}} [http://www.razumkov.org.ua/ukr/article.php/poll.php?poll_id=150 Як Ви ставитеся до Дня Конституції України?

==History== |

51 hours after taking office as [[President of Ukraine]], after winning the [[1994 Ukrainian presidential election]], [[Leonid Kuchma]] created the Constitutional Commission, which led to the adoption of a [[constitution of Ukraine]] in 1996.<ref>{{cite book|last=Warshaw|first=Shirley Anne|title=The Clinton Years|date=2009|publisher=[[Infobase Publishing]]}} ([https://books.google.com/books?id=kDPB1E07cnoC&dq=Constitution+of+Ukraine+%2B+1996+%2B+Kuchma&pg=PA191 page 191])</ref> (At the |

In the [[2010s]] the popularity of the holiday hovered around 5% according to research by the [[Kyiv International Institute of Sociology]] (KIIS).<ref name="KIISphiUp1383CD"/> |
