The current Constitution of Ethiopia was adopted by the Transitional Government of Ethiopia in December 1994 and came into force in August 1995.[1] The constitution provides for a parliamentary form of government and an administration based on nine ethnic-based regions.[1] It enshrines the separation of church and state and basic human rights and freedoms, and guarantees that all Ethiopian languages will enjoy equal state recognition, although Amharic is specified as the working language of the federal government.[1] Ethiopia has a tradition of highly personal and strongly centralized government, a pattern the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (the present government) has followed despite constitutional limits on federal power.[1]
