The 1936 Soviet constitution, adopted on December 5,
1936, and also known as the "Stalin" constitution, redesigned the
government of the Soviet Union. The constitution repealed
restrictions on voting and added universal direct suffrage and the
right to work to rights guaranteed by the previous constitution. In
addition, the Constitution recognized collective social and
economic rights including the rights to work, rest and leisure,
health protection, care in old age and sickness, housing,
education, and cultural benefits. The constitution also provided
for the direct election of all government bodies and their
reorganization into a single, uniform system.
