The Maldivian Constitution is the supreme law of the Maldives, established in 2008. It outlines the structure of the government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of democracy. The Constitution emphasizes the importance of human rights, freedom of expression, and the rule of law. The Constitution also defines the roles of the three branches of government: the executive, legislative, and judiciary. It ensures checks and balances among these branches to prevent abuse of power. Additionally, it promotes the values of Islam, which is the state religion, while safeguarding individual freedoms within that context.
