Constitution of Monaco

The Constitution of Monaco is the fundamental legal framework that defines the country's government, rights, and laws. It establishes Monaco as a constitutional monarchy, with a Prince as the head of state and a government responsible to the elected National Council. The Constitution safeguards individual freedoms, outlines the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and provides for the rule of law. It also sets elections and political participation rules, ensuring a balance between monarchical authority and democratic principles, thus maintaining stability and guiding the country's governance.
