The Constitution of 1924, formally titled the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey (Ottoman Turkish: Teşkilât-ı Esasiye Kanunu; Turkish: 1924 Türk Anayasası), was the fundamental law of Turkey from 1924 to 1961.
It replaced the Constitution of 1921 and was ratified by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey following the proclamation of the republic on October 29, 1923.
It remained in force until the 1960 coup d'état, following which it was replaced by the Constitution of 1961.
During this time, it served as the basis for many fundamental changes that sought to transform Turkey into a modern, secular and democratic Republic.
3115 of February 5, 1937 enshrined the six basic principles of Kemalism in the Constitution.
