Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe

The Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe was an agreement among European countries aimed at creating a unified legal framework for the European Union (EU). It sought to streamline decision-making, establish common rules, and enhance cooperation across member states. The treaty intended to replace various existing EU treaties with a single document, making the EU more transparent and efficient. Although it was signed in 2004, it ultimately did not come into force after rejection by some member countries' voters, but it influenced later reforms and the development of EU institutions.
