Constitutional Assembly (Ecuador)

The Constitutional Assembly of Ecuador was a special body elected to draft or revise the country's constitution. Typically convened during major political transitions or crises, its purpose is to create a framework for governance, define citizens' rights, and establish legal structures. Members are usually chosen through elections, representing diverse political and social groups. The assembly’s work results in a new or amended constitution, which serves as the supreme legal document guiding Ecuador’s political system and laws.
