The Finnish Constitution

The Finnish Constitution is the fundamental legal framework that defines how Finland is governed. It establishes the country's political system, protecting citizens' basic rights, outlining the powers of different branches of government (executive, legislative, judiciary), and ensuring the rule of law. It also governs how laws are made, how officials are appointed, and the relationship between the state and individuals. The constitution is designed to ensure democracy, human rights, and stability, serving as the highest legal authority in Finland. Changes to the constitution require special procedures to ensure broad consensus and stability.
