De Valera Constitution

The De Valera Constitution, enacted in 1937, was Ireland’s foundational legal document, establishing the country's independence and sovereignty. It emphasized Irish identity, land rights, and traditional values, asserting that Ireland was a Catholic state. The constitution also created a parliamentary democracy with a president as head of state. It aimed to unify the nation, protect cultural heritage, and affirm Ireland's independence from Britain. Over time, it has been amended to modernize the country, but it remains a key symbol of Ireland’s national identity and legal framework.
