According to the 1924 Constitution of the USSR, the national commissariats were divided into all-Union (foreign affairs, military and naval affairs, foreign trade, transport, post and telegraph) and combined (Supreme Council of National Economy, Food, Labour, Finance and Workers' and Peasants' Inspection). The all-Union commissariats exercised their authority in the territory through plenipotentiaries, while the combined commissariats did so through the respective people's commissariats of each union republic. Some people's commissariats were established only at the level of the republics (agriculture, interior, justice, education, health or social security). Over the years, a number of reorganizations have taken place - commissariats have been established, dissolved, merged, moved from the republican to the union level, etc.
The Council of People's Commissars of the USSR was responsible to the Congress of Soviets of the USSR, or, in the period between its sessions, to the Central Executive Committee of the USSR. The 1936 Constitution brought a change - the Council of People's Commissars continued to be responsible to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.
