Portuguese Constitution




The current Portuguese Constitution, replaced the previous constitution of 1933 which defined Portugal as a corporative, single party and multi-continental country. The new constitution was created in the aftermath of the Carnation Revolution of 1974 , and radically changed the doctrine and the rules of the Portuguese Republic. The most important changes were:
  • The set-up of a parliamentary, multiparty and constitutional democracy

  • The redefinition of the Portuguese territories to exclude the former colonies

  • The creation of a groundwork for a socialist economy

  • The last was substantially amended in the following years, with little (if anything) remaining of the provisions relating to Socialism.
