Over the centuries, Turkey has had many constitutions and can be characterized by the steady establishment of a nation-state, democratization and recognition of international law.
The Turkish constitution was ratified in 1921, revised in 1924, 1961, and finally in 1982. A proposal for yet another constitution, possibly to take action in 2008, has been drafted[1][2].
