Constituent Assembly of Tunisia

The Constituent Assembly of Tunisia was a special body formed after the 2011 revolution to draft a new constitution. Comprising elected representatives, its purpose was to create a legal framework that defines the country's fundamental laws, rights, and government structure. This process aimed to establish a democratic and inclusive political system, replacing previous authoritarian rule. The assembly worked through debates, consultations, and writing sessions, culminating in Tunisia’s 2014 constitution, which is considered a milestone in the country’s transition to democracy.
