The Nicaraguan Constitution is the fundamental legal document that outlines the structure of the government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of the state. Adopted in 1987, it serves as the supreme law of Nicaragua, establishing a framework for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. The Constitution includes provisions for the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It also guarantees various civil liberties, such as freedom of speech and assembly, while promoting social justice and economic development within the country.
