The 1931 Constitution of Ethiopia was the first modern constitution of the Ethiopian Empire, intended to officially replace the Fetha Nagast, which had been the supreme law since the Middle Ages. It was promulgated in "an impressive ceremony" held 16 July 1931 in the presence of Emperor Haile Selassie, who had long desired to proclaim one for his country. In the preface to his translation of this constitution into English, William Stern writes, "this was the first instance in history where an absolute ruler had sought voluntarily to share sovereign power with the subjects of his realm." This statement, however, is not completely accurate, as the adoption of a constitution was somewhat pressed by international opinion.

Принятие конституции в значимой степени было обусловлено общественным давлением. (ru)
  • 1931年埃塞俄比亚宪法是埃塞俄比亚帝国的第一部现代宪法,旨在正式取代自中世纪以来一直是为最高法律神权法典。其是于1931年7月16日举行的一场盛大的仪式上颁布的,海尔·塞拉西皇帝出席了仪式,而他长期以来一直希望为自己的国家颁布一部宪法。 在将这部宪法翻译成英文的序言中写道:“这是历史上第一个绝对统治者自愿与本国臣民分享主权权力的例子”。 然而,这种说法并不完全准确,因为这部宪法的通过很大程度上受到国际舆论的压力的影响。凭借这部宪法,埃塞俄比亚这个仍然存在的最后的绝对君主国之一,开始了帝国机构的宪法化进程,将皇帝的权力建立在更坚实的基础上,但也允许一些初步的限制和参与形式;这一演变过程将在二战后的新宪法中继续进行。 (zh)

  • The 1931 Constitution of Ethiopia was the first modern constitution of the Ethiopian Empire, intended to officially replace the Fetha Nagast, which had been the supreme law since the Middle Ages. It was promulgated in "an impressive ceremony" held 16 July 1931 in the presence of Emperor Haile Selassie, who had long desired to proclaim one for his country. In the preface to his translation of this constitution into English, William Stern writes, "this was the first instance in history where an absolute ruler had sought voluntarily to share sovereign power with the subjects of his realm." This statement, however, is not completely accurate, as the adoption of a constitution was somewhat pressed by international opinion. In virtue of this constitution, Ethiopia, one of the last absolute monarchies still existing, began the process of constitutionalization of imperial institutions, grounding the Emperor's authority on more solid basis, but also allowing some initial forms of limitation and participation; this evolutive process would continue after World War II with a new constitution.
