Constitution of Chile
The Constitution of Chile is the fundamental legal document that outlines the structure of the government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of the state. Originally enacted in 1980 during the military regime of Augusto Pinochet, it has undergone several amendments to adapt to democratic governance.
In 2021, Chile initiated a process to draft a new constitution through a constituent assembly, reflecting the people's desire for change. This process aimed to address social demands and ensure greater representation and rights for all citizens, marking a significant step in Chile's democratic evolution.
