The Tunisian Constitution was adopted on January 26, 2014, following the 2011 revolution that led to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. It is notable for being the first constitution in the Arab world to enshrine principles of human rights, gender equality, and freedom of expression. The constitution establishes Tunisia as a democratic state and outlines the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It also emphasizes the importance of civil liberties and the role of Islam as the state religion while ensuring freedom of belief and conscience for all citizens.
