INTRODUCTION: The Constitution of Pakistan, made in 1973, is the country's most important set of rules. It tells us how Pakistan is run and what rights its people have. It explains who can make laws, how leaders are chosen, and how courts work. The constitution helps keep the country fair and balanced. 2. FEATURES OF CONSTITUTION OF PAKISTAN 1973: Following are the important salient features of constitution of Pakistan 1973.
• Islamic Republic: Pakistan is officially an Islamic Republic, which means that Islam is the state religion and is considered an important guiding principle for the country's laws and policies. • Federal Structure: Pakistan is made up of multiple provinces and territories, each with its own government. The federal government in Islamabad shares power with provincial governments in areas such as education, health, and policing. • Preamble: The preamble of the constitution outlines the broad objectives and goals of the constitution. It emphasizes concepts like democracy, freedom, equality, tolerance, and social justice as the foundational principles that guide the country. • Bicameral Legislature: The National Assembly (lower house) and the Senate (upper house) make up the parliament. The National Assembly represents the people directly, while the Senate represents the provinces and ensures regional balance. • Separation of Powers: The powers of the government are divided among three branches: the executive (government), the legislative (parliament), and the judicial (courts). This separation prevents any one branch from becoming too powerful and helps maintain a system of checks and balances. • Fundamental Rights: The constitution guarantees fundamental rights to all citizens, including freedom of speech, religion, and equality. These rights ensure that individuals are protected from discrimination and can participate fully in society. • Islamic Provisions: While Pakistan is an Islamic Republic, the constitution aims to balance Islamic principles with modern legal

• Emergency Provisions: The constitution outlines conditions under which the government can declare a state of emergency, which grants it temporary extra powers. These provisions are in place to deal with exceptional situations, but they are subject to checks to prevent misuse of power. • Protection of Minorities: The constitution ensures that religious and ethnic minorities are granted equal rights and representation. This protection prevents discrimination and promotes harmony among diverse communities. • Gender Equality: The constitution emphasizes the importance of gender equality and the rights of women. It encourages policies and measures to ensure that women can participate fully in social, economic, and political activities. 3. CONCLUSION: To conclude I can say that Constitution of Pakistan, 1973, has key features, like federal structure, Islamic republic status, fundamental rights, separation of powers, bicameral legislature, independent judiciary, and provinces' autonomy. It blends Islamic principles with democratic values, ensuring citizens' rights and government accountability. In conclusion, the Constitution shapes Pakistan's governance with its Islamic and democratic principles, safeguarding rights and balance of power.
