The Constitution of the Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union is the supreme legal document that governs the rights, powers, and duties of the people, government, and institutions within the Arstotzkan Union. Drafted between 22 November 2019 and 25 November 2022, it was ratified on 25 November 2022, and came into effect three years prior. The constitution establishes the Arstotzkan Union as a completely sovereign and independent state, encompassing all claimed lands and territories under its united republic.
The Arstotzkan Union is a democratic socialist federal presidential constitutional republic, founded on the principles of Arstotzkanism. The constitution reflects the nation's commitment to creating a more perfect union, free from international tyranny and injustice, while promoting democracy, socialism, and the well-being of its people. It draws inspiration from the mission of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and aims to spread global socialism for the freedom of the proletariat.
The constitution guarantees a comprehensive set of rights and freedoms to the people of the Arstotzkan Union. These include freedom of life, liberty, happiness, humanity, and property. Additionally, individuals enjoy freedom of speech, assembly, religion, press, expression, privacy, sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual expression, and same-sex activities. The borders of the nation are open to all, and anyone born within its territory is granted automatic citizenship.
The Arstotzkan Federal Government, composed of three equal branches - executive, legislative, and judiciary - holds the power to pass, create, and repeal legislation. State federalism is implemented to govern the territories of the Arstotzkan Union, while the House of Representatives, elected by states and territories, serves as the supreme authority over them. The constitution emphasizes the protection of human rights and the prohibition of discrimination, ensuring that no individual shall lose their inalienable rights under any circumstance.
The constitution also highlights the duty of the federal government to defend, protect, and sustain the rights of its citizens from foreign threats or radical governments. It guarantees the right to a fair trial, the abolition of slavery, and the protection of women's rights, including the right to a safe and protected abortion. Furthermore, it denounces neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, and hateful ideologies that may lead to acts of terrorism.
The members of the federal government, including the presidents and vice president, are elected through free and fair elections. They are entrusted with upholding the constitution and the principles of Arstotzkanism, working for the unity and equality of the nation. The constitution grants the Office of the Presidency the power to pass, change, or edit the constitution in response to evolving circumstances within the Arstotzkan Union.

The Constitution of the Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union is made up of six sections. Each with their own functions that govern the functions of the state.
Section 1
Section 1 of the Constitution of the Arstotzkan Union or officially; Establishment of the nation-state of the Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union forms the articles of the Constitution that creates the Arstotzkan Union. It creates the Arstotzkan Union as an independent and sovereign nation as well as creates the Arstotzkan Federal Government and the other functions that create the nation as it is.
Section 1's powers were extended by the Montevideo Convention Adoption Act 2023 in May 2023. This adopted the declaratory theory of statehood and also established that the Arstotzkan Union has the necessary factors to becoming a independent nation.
Section 2
Section 2 of the Constitution of the Arstotzkan Union also known as Rights of the People of the Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union is one of the most important sections in the Constitution.

Section 2 is also the longest section in the entire constitution covering 14 articles.
Section 3

It establishes the idea that the Arstotzkan Federal Government cannot create defamatory legislation, declare war against an allied nation and also support allies militarily in a time of need. It also grants the Federal Assembly powers over the Office of the Presidency in the event that they believe the executive is threating the stability of the state and the security of the people.
