Profound lessons on the People’s right to exercise power
Marking the 80th anniversary of the National Assembly’s adoption of Vietnam’s first Constitution (November 6, 1946 – November 6, 2026), Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly’s Committee on Science, Technology and Environment Do Duc Hong Ha said that behind the steadfast constitution-making efforts of previous generations lie profound lessons about the people’s genuine right to exercise power, as well as the “imperatives for action” set out by General Secretary of the Party Central Committee and State President To Lam for the country’s new stage of development.

Message from the 1946 Constitution: Building a state capable of action and accountable to the People
Eighty years on, the enduring message of the 1946 Constitution is not merely that state power belongs to the People, but also that such power must be organised, controlled and exercised for the benefit of human beings. The constitutionalist principles embodied in the 1946 Constitution continue to offer valuable guidance for institutional reform today: building a State capable of effective action while operating within the framework of the Constitution and the law, subject to public oversight and accountable to the People.
From the First Constitution to the aspiration of building a Government of the People, by the People and for the People
Eighty years ago, the first Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam affirmed a foundational principle: all state power belongs to the entire People. From safeguarding the people's right to mastery and equality to designing the structure of government, the 1946 Constitution was imbued with democratic and humanistic values, placing the interests of the People at its centre.
