The New Zealand Constitution is a set of laws and principles that outline how the country is governed. Unlike many countries, New Zealand does not have a single written constitution; instead, it consists of various statutes, conventions, and legal documents. Key components include the Constitution Act 1986, the Electoral Act 1993, and the Bill of Rights Act 1990, which together establish the framework for the government and protect citizens' rights. The constitution defines the roles of the Parliament, the Executive, and the Judiciary, ensuring a separation of powers. It also reflects New Zealand's commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi, an agreement between the British Crown and the Māori chiefs that plays a significant role in the country's legal and cultural landscape.
