A constitutional commission is a body of commissioners appointed by a government for the purpose of making or revising a constitution. The commissioners are typically experts.[1] However, in a country governed by a military regime, the commissioners may be actual or alleged experts whose political opinions match those of that government,[2] and in other countries there may perceptions or allegations that the commissioners include such persons.[3] The commission may be advisory or preparatory to another body or to a referendum.[4]
A number of bodies have been called a Constitutional Commission.
