The Dimitrov Constitution was the constitution of the People's Republic of Bulgaria adopted on 4 December 1947 and named after the communist leader Georgi Dimitrov. Modelled on the Soviet constitution of 1936, it proclaimed Bulgaria a people's republic, provided for the nationalisation of industry and banks and created a single-chamber National Assembly. It remained in force until it was replaced by a new constitution in 1971.
