Chile's current constitution was adopted in 1980 during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. It has been amended several times since then, most recently in 2019 after widespread protests calling for a new constitutional process.
The constitution guarantees individual rights and freedoms, including freedom of speech and religion, but also places significant power in the hands of the executive branch. It establishes a presidential system of government with a bicameral legislature and an independent judiciary.
One of the most controversial aspects of the constitution is its provisions for the privatization of education, healthcare, and social security. These policies have been criticized for exacerbating inequality and limiting access to basic services.
The 2019 protests led to a referendum on whether to replace the constitution with a new one written by a constituent assembly. The referendum passed overwhelmingly, and a new constitution is currently being drafted.
