Myanmar's 2008 Constitution

Myanmar's 2008 Constitution was enacted following years of military rule and aims to establish a framework for governance. It creates a semi-democratic system by allowing for a bicameral parliament and includes provisions for state sovereignty, human rights, and internal stability. However, the military retains significant power, including appointing key ministers and having reserved parliamentary seats. The Constitution also emphasizes national unity among various ethnic groups but has faced criticism for limiting true democratic governance and enabling military influence over civilian politics, leading to ongoing conflicts and challenges in Myanmar's political landscape.
