1972 Constitution of Bangladesh

The 1972 Constitution of Bangladesh was the country's foundational legal document, establishing Bangladesh as an independent nation with a parliamentary democracy. It defined key principles such as sovereignty belonging to the people, equality, human rights, and social justice. The Constitution created a framework for government, including the Prime Minister as the head of government and the President as a ceremonial figure. It also outlined fundamental rights for citizens, set the rule of law, and aimed to promote unity and progress. Over time, it has been amended to address evolving political needs while maintaining its core principles of democracy and justice.
