Constituent Assembly
A Constituent Assembly is a body of representatives tasked with drafting or adopting a new constitution for a country. This assembly is often formed during significant political changes, such as after a revolution or the end of a regime, to establish a legal framework for governance. The members are usually elected by the public or appointed by existing authorities.
The work of a Constituent Assembly can include debates on fundamental rights, the structure of government, and the distribution of power. Once the constitution is finalized, it is typically put to a vote for approval by the citizens, ensuring that the new legal foundation reflects the will of the people.
