100. YILINDA TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ’NİN İLK ANAYASASI 1924 TEŞKİLAT-I ESASİYE KANUNU
TURKISH FIRST CONSTITION OF REPUBLIC OF TURKIYE IN ITS 100th ANNIVERSARY 1924 ESSENTIAL ORGANIZATION LAW

Summary/Abstract: The 1924 constitution, which is the first constitution of the Republic of Türkiye, was accepted by the Turkish Grand National Assembly on 20 April 1924. This text, which had been remained in force for 36 years, has a special place in Turkish history while it determines the full legal framework of the Republic of Turkey and is the first in many aspects. The reason why it is the first constitution of the Republic of Türkiye is that the 1921 Constitution was created before the republic was declared. In addition, since it was a war period and Ottoman Empire was still continuing legally, it is not right to talk about this constitution as first. In order to eliminate the legal deficiencies of the newly established Republic of Türkiye, the 1924 Constitution had to be drawn up. This Constitution, which meets the needs of the period that it was created in, was prepared on the principle that sovereignty belongs only to the nation and will be used only by the Turkish Grand National Assembly. This study examines the 1924 Constitution, which constituted the fundamental values of the Republic of Türkiye 100 years ago. It aims to analyze the formation process under historical conditions, its features, provisions on organs, changes over time and criticisms of the Constitution through the minutes of the period and literature sources.
