The Ethiopian Constitution, adopted in 1995, serves as the supreme law of Ethiopia. It establishes the framework for the country's governance, outlining the rights and responsibilities of citizens, the structure of government, and the principles of democracy and federalism. The Constitution emphasizes the importance of human rights and the rule of law. The Constitution also recognizes the diverse ethnic groups within Ethiopia, granting them the right to self-determination and cultural expression. It promotes equality and prohibits discrimination based on ethnicity, gender, or religion, aiming to foster unity among the nation's various communities while respecting their unique identities.
