The 1953 Cukobaian Constitution is the basis for all laws in the United Revolutionary Federation of Cukobai. Developed in the aftermath of the Black Days and Vanugalu War in 1953, the Constitution was developed in recognition of the failings of the original Universal Declaration of Human Liberty and Revolutionary Common Law, as cited by the Revolutionary Committee for Reconciliation and Progress from their investigations into the causes of the conflicts.

The Committee stated the codes' shortcomings included failures to protect vulnerable and historically-disadvantaged populations, increasing isolation of communities, and a near-inability to adequately coordinate resources and funding on a national or even regional level. Upon their report to the Combined Revolutionary Assemblies in February of 1953, the National Directorate authorized the establishment of the Revolutionary Committee for National Reform, a panel of respected Cukobaian statesmen and political theorists from around the world which was placed in charge of developing a new constitution which "married the spirit and ideals of 1911 with the practical needs of a modern developing society". The resulting document codified and formalized a number of pre-existing legal practices in the Federation, as well as implementing a number of measures to develop its modern form of semi-direct democracy. This kept Cukobai's original mode of council democracy with an emphasis on local government, while also creating the current framework of national government that granted regional and federal-level authorities the necessary powers and procedures needed to effectively govern. Accompanying these political reforms were broad protections for minorities in the country, and guarantees for human rights not originally included in the UDHL of 1914.
