Article 77 of the 1879 Constitution protects the privacy of correspondence: "Private letters and telegrams are secret and inviolable. A special law will determine the responsibility of those to whom letters and telegrams are confided." These same rights to privacy with respect to the home and to correspondence were also promised by Articles 85 and 86, respectively, of the 1947 Constitution of the People's Republic of Bulgaria, as well as by Articles 49 and 51 of the 1971 Constitution of the People's Republic of Bulgaria. The right to privacy, including family life, private life, honor, dignity, and reputation, is protected in Article 32 of the [[Probable year:: 1991]] constitution (Constitute Project, “Bulgaria [[Probable year:: 1991]] rev.
