Finland's Basic Law

Finland's Basic Law is the country's fundamental legal framework that defines how the government functions, protects individual rights, and ensures the rule of law. It establishes the structure of the Parliament, the Presidency, and the judiciary, outlining their powers and responsibilities. The law guarantees basic human rights, such as freedom of speech, equality, and privacy, and sets the principles for democratic governance. Amendments require broad consensus, reflecting the importance of stability and continuity. Overall, it serves as the constitutional foundation that guides Finland’s political system, legal processes, and societal values.
