Hungarian constitution (2011)

The Hungarian Constitution of 2011 established the fundamental legal framework of Hungary, defining the organization of government, protecting citizens’ rights, and outlining national values. It created a parliamentary democracy where elected officials carry out legislative, executive, and judicial functions. The constitution emphasizes stability, national sovereignty, and family values, and it reformed institutions to reflect these principles. While maintaining democratic principles, some critics argue it centralized power and affected judicial independence. Overall, it serves as the supreme legal document guiding Hungary’s political system and protecting individual freedoms within a constitutional framework.
