The South Korean Constitution is the fundamental law of the Republic of Korea, established in 1948. It outlines the structure of government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of democracy. The Constitution has undergone several amendments, with the most significant changes occurring in 1987, which aimed to enhance civil liberties and democratic governance. The Constitution emphasizes the importance of human rights, social justice, and national unity. It establishes a system of checks and balances among the three branches of government: the executive, legislative, and judicial. This framework ensures that power is distributed and that citizens' rights are protected.
