The party had around 4,000 members.[1] The party was founded as a response to SFP and the only major right-wing party, National Coalition, backing the re-election of President Urho Kekkonen by emergency law, simply for convenience and despite the lack of any national emergency. Ehrnrooth saw this as a sign of Finlandization, and held that the constitution was being circumvented and the people left out of the process.
The party contested the 1975 parliament election, obtaining 1.6% of the national vote and winning one seat. In the 1979 parliament election the party won 1.2% of the votes but no seat.[1] The most seats the party ever held were two (1973–75 and 1986–87), although in both cases, one seat was gained by a defection.
Constitutional Right Party was the only Finnish political party which openly rallied Finland for joining the European Economic Community in 1988.
Constitutional Right Party rallied every 17 July in a big numbers because that date was the day when Finland got its Republican-based governmental basic rule in 1919.
