18th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan

The 18th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, enacted in 2010, significantly reduced the powers of the President and enhanced those of Parliament and the Prime Minister. It abolished the Concurrent List, transferring many responsibilities from the federal government to provincial governments, promoting greater regional autonomy. The amendment also restored judicial independence, clarified roles of various constitutional bodies, and removed certain controversial powers previously held by the President. Overall, it aimed to strengthen democratic governance, promote decentralization, and ensure greater accountability and transparency within Pakistan's political system.
