Tunisian Constituent Assembly

The Tunisian Constituent Assembly was a special legislative body formed after Tunisia's 2011 revolution, responsible for drafting and adopting a new constitution. Its primary goal was to establish a democratic framework that guarantees citizens' rights, freedoms, and political representation, moving away from previous authoritarian rule. The assembly was elected by the people and included diverse political groups. It played a crucial role in shaping Tunisia's post-revolution governance, culminating in the adoption of a new constitution in 2014 that laid the foundation for democratic stability and civil liberties.
