Constitutiontal DÉJÀ-VU

Inexpediency of 'the comprehensive reform' of the Constitution of Ukraine is proved due to the formation of the Constitutional Commission by the President of Ukraine with the task to create a bill (bills) with the aim to amend the Constitution of Ukraine through the example of its predecessor – the Constitutional Assembly. Expediency to amend the Constitution of Ukraine only in its most essential aspects, especially in the field of decentralization of power, is grounded, and possible ways of its implementation are determined.
Keywords: Constitutional Commission, Constitutional Assembly, constitutional reform, decentralization of power.
