That constitution in turn was replaced by Stalin's Constitution of 1936 which was, like the earlier efforts, a mere façade of the democracy it professed to install.

At the fifth All-Russian Congress of Soviets, in <<<bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>>1918b>bb>>bb>bb>>>bb>b>bb>>bb>bb>>>>, a constitution was drawn up that established the <bb>>sovietb>bb>> as the formal unit of local and regional government and affirmed the All-Russian Congress of Soviets as the highest body of the state.
Later, the 1936 constitution provided for the direct election of a two-chamber Supreme <bb>>Sovietb>bb>>—the <bb>>Sovietb>bb>> of the Union, in which membership was based on population, and the <bb>>Sovietb>bb>> of Nationalities, in which members were elected on a regional basis.
Much of their authority and legitimacy in the public eye came from the soviets' role as accurate reflectors of popular will: delegates had no set terms of office, and frequent by-elections gave ample opportunity for quick exertion of influence by the voters.

The treaty relations between the Abkhaz SSR and Georgia continued till February 1931, when the 6th Congress of Soviets of Abkhazia and then 6th Congress of Soviets of Georgia made a decision to turn Abkhazia into an autonomous republic within the Georgian SSR.
