Previous Constitutions
There have been three previous constitutions of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
- 1946 Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, adopted on November 9, 1946
- 1959 Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, adopted on January 1, 1960
- 1980 Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, adopted on December 19, 1980
In addition to the 1946, 1959, 1980, and 1992 (and amended) Constitutions of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Socialist Vietnam, the former South Vietnam also adopted two constitutions, in 1956 and 1967. Neither of these constitutional documents is in force; the 1967 Constitution was abrogated after Vietnam was unified in 1975.

Famous quotes containing the word previous:
“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
