First Post-Revolution Cuban Constitution

Date: February 15, 1976 • Location: Madrid, Spain

Even before attaining its independence, Cuba had several constitutions either proposed or adopted by insurgents as governing documents for territory they controlled during their wars against Spain. Cuba has had several constitutions since winning its independence. The first constitution since the Cuban Revolution was drafted in 1976 and has since been amended. In 2018, Cuba became engaged in a major revision of its constitution. The current communist state constitution was then enacted in 2019.
