Constituição da República Portuguesa

The Constituição da República Portuguesa is Portugal’s fundamental law that outlines how the country is governed. It establishes the structure of government, rights and freedoms of citizens, and the principles guiding the nation. It ensures the separation of powers among the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary, and defines the roles of regional entities. Enacted in 1976, after the Carnation Revolution, it reflects democratic values, protects individual rights, and provides the legal framework for political, social, and economic policies in Portugal.
