Dutch Constitution

The Dutch Constitution, known as the "Grondwet," is the foundational legal document of the Netherlands. It outlines the structure of the government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of democracy. Adopted in 1814 and significantly revised since, it establishes the roles of the monarchy, Parliament, and judiciary. It guarantees fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and equality before the law. The Constitution serves as a framework for legislation and ensures that all laws comply with these fundamental rights and democratic values, providing a basis for a fair and just society in the Netherlands.
