1972

State Formation and the 1972 Constitution

In 1972, Bangladesh moved from wartime victory to the difficult work of state formation. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman returned in January to lead the new government, the Constituent Assembly began work in April, and the Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh was adopted on 4 November before taking effect on 16 December. The year linked liberation to institution-building through parliamentary government, fundamental rights, and the four state principles of nationalism, socialism, democracy, and secularism.

1988

Eighth Amendment and State Religion
