The Third constitution of Pakistan was passed and implemented by the National Assembly of Pakistan in 1973. Since then, the constitution has had eighteen amendments and has gone through, at least, two decades of suspension by military dictators. The 1973 constitution promises universal suffrage, a parliamentary system of government, and an independent judiciary.

Reasons for delay in the framing of constitution of Pakistan?

It was difficult to frame a constitution in 1950's because when first draft of the constitution was presented by Basic Principle Committee in front of the constitutional assembly so, three objections were made there through different group of people. First objection was made by the east Pakistan who doesn't want Urdu to be their national language as they speak Bengali commonly and wants it to be their national language. East Pakistan also objected that they should have more number of seats in National Assembly as they had much larger population than the West Pakistan. The second objection came from provincial politicians as they were not being agreed on giving the whole power to the head of the state and to the federal government . The third objection was raised up by the religious groups complaining that the constitution was not sufficiently Islamic. These were the three main reasons because of which framing new constitution for Pakistan was seems to be much difficult than any other problem faced by the young Pakistan.
