The relevance of a research is caused by necessity to study the first legal acts in
Kazakhstan having the constitutional value, since they reflected the tendency to
gain state independence through autonomisation, first at the regional level, and then
for whole Kazakhstan. The aim of this article is to analyse and give an assessment
to normative legal acts of certain regions of Kazakhstan, the Alash and Turkestan
Autonomies of 1917–1918 concerning the state-building. The methodological basis
of the study became general scientific methods of theoretical knowledge, content
analysis of texts of legal acts, a comparative analysis of the results of Kazakhstan
and foreign studies on the problems of state-building in the pre-Soviet period, chronic
documentary analysis of archival sources. Features of normative legal acts of 1917–
1918 concerning the state building were determined. The detailed analysis of the
first acts having the constitutional value was presented. It was concluded that the
program of the Alash party could become a political platform for the constitution of a
democratic federal state.
