Since its establishment, Viet Nam has had four constitutions. Each of the constitution has stipulated the position and leading role of the Party in different ways conforming to historical conditions of each revolutionary period.

This does not only identify the Party’s political and legal position of the Party but also contents and leading methods of the Party toward the State. The Platform on National Construction in the Transitional Period to Socialism (supplemented and developed in 2011) and the Party Statutes stipulate the main contents of the Party’s leadership toward the State as: the Party develops Platform, strategies, orientations on policies and guidelines and leads competent State agencies to build and implement legislation; the Party provides leadership in building state apparatus at different levels through concrete legal framework; the Party leads inspection, control, supervision and juridical work in association with Party’s control with respect for juridical principles. The constitutionalisation of the Party’s position and leading role should considered concrete levels for Party organizations, first the highest leading organization, to implement and as a basis for promulgation of a code on Party with concrete regulations./.
