The Constitution of Cambodia, adopted on September 24, 1993 with this file, serves as the nation's fundamental law, emphasizing sovereignty, national unity, and territorial integrity. It establishes a parliamentary system with the King as the head of state and the Prime Minister as the head of government, supported by a bicameral legislature comprising the National Assembly and the Senate. The Constitution enshrines a broad range of human rights, including freedom of expression and the right to a fair trial, thereby promoting civil and political liberties. It also ensures the independence of the judiciary, maintaining a clear separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches. Additionally, it encourages a market economy with recognition for private ownership while addressing the need for economic development and social welfare. The amendment process outlined in the Constitution requires a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, reflecting the commitment to democratic principles and citizen engagement.
