The Tunisian Constitution of 1959 was promulgated on 1 June 1959. The application of the text was suspended following the Tunisian Revolution, a Constituent Assembly being elected on 23 October 2011 to draft a new text. In the meantime, a decree-law of 23 March 2011 then a constitutive law of 16 December of the same year provisionally organized the public authorities.[1] The new Constitution was adopted on 26 January 2014.[2]

The supreme legal norm of the country, composed of 78 articles, it constitutes the second Constitution in the modern history of the country.[3] The first was adopted in 1861, making Tunisia the first Arab state to adopt such a text, after the proclamation of the Fundamental Pact of 1857.[4] Legal foundation of the republican regime, it is marked by the affirmation of a strong executive. The Constitutional Council verifies a posteriori the conformity of laws with the Constitution when it is referred to it.
