In news- The Taliban recently announced that they would temporarily adopt the 1964 constitution to rule Afghanistan but will eliminate if there is anything that goes against Sharia law.

    • It has 11 chapters and 128 articles. 
    • The constitution was ratified in 1964 by a Loya Jirga (grand assembly).
  • The constitution laid rules for a centralised administration, divided into a number of administrative units, headed by the ministers.
  • The king, which might be applicable for Taliban supremo, held the supreme command of everything, from declaring war to signing international treaties.
    • It created two houses of the Afghanistan Parliament, among which the lower house members were to be elected. 
    • The Cabinet was supposed to exercise the monarch’s powers, while legislators were prohibited from holding ministerial posts.

  • The constitution said education is the right of every Afghan and shall be provided free of charge.
  • The constitution was in force between 1964 and 1973, which is often referred to as Afghanistan’s golden age but was then annulled by a coup.
