Özet:

The introduction of a new constitution soon after Coup D’état of May 27, 1960, was considered as most crucial matter that should be handled immediately. Istanbul Commission and Ankara Commission have introduced separate draft constitutions. Two-house Constituent Assembly was established and articles of the new constitution were discussed by House of Representatives and by National Unity Committee that established as the other house of Constituent Assembly. Upon negotiation conducted in Constituent Assembly, the Constitution was finalized and ready to hold referendum. The provisions on the secularity in the Constitution of 1961 were directly provided under 2nd and 19th articles. 2nd article provided the provisions in regard to political principles as basic assets of the Republic, whereas 19th article introduced social principles within the context of human rights and freedoms. Most intensive discussions were held in the Constitution Assembly. The discussions were focused on the constraints and supervision to be introduced onto the social dimension of the religion as provided under provisions on the secularity.
