The Constitution of Latvia is the fundamental law of the Republic of Latvia. It was adopted by, as it states itself, the people of Latvia, in a freely elected Constitutional Assembly, on 15 February 1922 and came into force on 7 November 1922. It was influenced by ideas of the Weimar Constitution and Swiss Federal Constitution. Although the initial bill consisted of two parts, the second part, which regulated citizens' rights and obligations was voted down; a chapter on fundamental human rights was added only by amendment in 1998. After the 1934 coup d'etat a declaration was passed which assigned functions of the parliament to the Cabinet of Ministers until a new constitution could be drafted, thereby partly suspending the constitution. A new constitution was never drafted and during World War II Latvia was annexed by the Soviet Union. In 1990 the parliament of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic declared the annexation of Latvia illegal, as it was acted out ignoring the Constitution of Latvia and both the constitution and Republic of Latvia still existed de jure thereby restoring the independence of Latvia.
