“Statehood, political and legal culture was formed in Georgia for several millennia. In our history, many monuments of law belong to the source of constitutional law, however, the beginning of constitutionalism is considered May 26th, 1918, and the first constitutional document adopted by the National Council – the Act of Independence of Georgia, which was followed by the adoption of the most important document – the first constitution of February 21st, 1921.

The authors of the project tried to clearly and succinctly convey the history of the Constitution of Georgia in a short animation so that it would be interesting and informative for a citizen of any age. It is gratifying that the joint initiative of students and teachers of the Faculty of Law and International Relations of the Georgian Technical University took the form of a project and became the winner of the grant program of the Ministry of Justice”, said Irakli Gabisonia.
