In 1941, the Moldavian Socialist Republic adopted their first official constitution based on the 1936 Soviet Constitution. In Chapter X, Article 125 of the 1936 Soviet Constitution guarantees citizens of the U.S.S.R. “Freedom of speech; Freedom of the Press; Freedom of assembly and holding mass meetings; Freedom of street processions and demonstrations.” These rights were likely to have been the earliest official assertion of rights and liberties in the Moldavian Socialist Republic Constitution .
