Basic rights
The constitution also provides regulations concerning citizens’ rights. The most fundamental of them deal with the basic rights of Finnish citizens. In 1995, Finland implemented an amendment of basic rights and, in conjunction with that, the basic rights of citizens, such as personal freedom, integrity and security, were included in the Constitution Act of the time. These basic rights are also included in the current Constitution Act.
In practice, the implementation of basic rights is nearly always enacted in acts, which are also deemed to form part of the Constitution. For example, the Assembly Act and the Act on the Openness of Government Activities are part of the Finnish Constitution.
