The Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, adopted on February 22, 1974
Excerpt
Chapter I
Article 6th
The coat-of-arms of the Socialist Republic of Croatia is field encircled with two golden bundles of grain spikes. In the lower part of the field is an iron anvil. Above it the main sea gently heaves. From the sea raise historical Croatian arms and above them is the sun. In the lower part bundles of grain spikes are joined and interlaced, so their composition surrounds the base of the anvil. Between the top of the spikes is a five-pointed star with a golden lining, which has its lower legs directed to the field of the coat-of-arms.
Article 7th
The flag of the Socialist Republic of Croatia consists of three colours: red, white and blue, with red five-pointed star in the centre. The relation of width and length of the flag is 1:2. The colours of the flag are placed horizontally in the following order from the top: red white and blue. Each colour covers one third of the flag width. The star has a regular five-pointed shape and a golden (yellow) border. The central point of the star corresponds with the point of intersection of the diagonals of the flag. The upper arm of the star enters up to one half of the red colour of the flag. The lower legs of the star are also getting the adequate place in the blue colour of the flag.
