Afghan Constitution of 1964

The Afghan Constitution of 1964 was a significant legal framework that established Afghanistan as a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy. It created a government with separate branches—executive, legislative, and judiciary—and guaranteed basic rights and freedoms for citizens. The constitution aimed to modernize the country, promote political participation, and limit the king's powers by introducing elected representatives. It also recognized Afghanistan's diverse ethnic groups and aimed for national unity. Overall, it marked a move toward democratic governance, though political stability remained a challenge in subsequent years.
