Belize
Structure of the Constitution of 1981
The constitution of 1981 contains twelve chapters and 142
sections. The first five chapters, which cover the sovereignty and
territory of Belize, fundamental rights, citizenship, the powers of
the governor general, and the executive, were essentially new.
Chapters six through ten, which deal with the legislature, the
judiciary, the civil service, finances, and miscellaneous details
relating primarily to national symbols and government procedures,
are based upon the constitution of 1963. Chapters eleven and twelve
deal with the transition to independence and the date of the
document's commencement.
Data as of January 1992
