The 1937 Constitution of Ireland, also known as the Bunreacht na hÉireann, was enacted on December 29, 1937. It replaced the 1922 Constitution and established Ireland as a sovereign nation. The document outlined the structure of government, the rights of citizens, and the role of the President and Parliament. This constitution emphasized the importance of family and religion, reflecting the values of the time. It also provided for a system of checks and balances among the branches of government. The 1937 Constitution remains in effect today, having undergone several amendments to adapt to changing societal needs.
