The Mauritian Constitution is the supreme law of Mauritius, established in 1968 when the country gained independence. It outlines the structure of government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of democracy. The Constitution ensures the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The Constitution also guarantees fundamental rights and freedoms for all citizens, including freedom of speech, religion, and assembly. It has been amended several times to address changing political and social needs, reflecting the evolving nature of Mauritian society and governance.
