Extract

The constitution of the Far Eastern Republic, promulgated April 17, 1921, contains ten articles, divided into 184 clauses. There is no preamble. Article I, among other general provisions, sets forth that “The Far Eastern Republic is established as a democratic republic.” Article II names the component parts and the boundary lines of the state and undertakes to maintain the rights and obligations formerly Russian within that territory. The subject of Article III is “Citizens and their Rights.” Included in the latter are equality before the law; freedom of conscience and speech; habeas corpus; inviolability of person, house, and correspondence; and non-liability to arrest without warrant unless taken in the act.
