Comparison between 1956 and 1962 constitution
This document compares Pakistan's 1956 and 1962 constitutions. The 1956 constitution introduced a parliamentary form of government, direct elections, and executive power was held by the prime minister. It had three lists of subjects. The 1962 constitution replaced this with a presidential system, allowed indirect elections, gave the president greater power, and introduced Islamic institutions and a referendum system. It provided only two lists of subjects and established a Supreme Judicial Council. Overall, the two constitutions differed significantly in their forms of government and allocation of executive powers.
Constitution of 1956
The Constitution of 1956 was drafted after Pakistan became a republic and consisted of 234 articles divided into 13 parts. It declared Pakistan an Islamic republic with Islam as the state religion. A federal parliamentary system of government was established with a unicameral National Assembly. However, the constitution was opposed by Bengali autonomists and the Awami League, and elections were never held. Martial law was imposed in 1958, abrogating the constitution.
CONSTITUTION 1956,1962
The constitution of Pakistan failed in 1956 due to a lack of strong leadership, political training, and economic equality. It established a unicameral legislature that caused problems. Elections were also continually delayed. The constitution of 1962 established an authoritarian presidential system that concentrated power in the president's hands while limiting the national assembly. It used an indirect election method and lacked checks on presidential power and provincial autonomy. Both constitutions ultimately failed due to their authoritarian nature and inability to establish stable democratic systems of governance.
Constitution of 1956
The constitution of 1956 was adopted on March 23, 1956, establishing Pakistan as an Islamic Republic. It consisted of 234 articles divided into 13 parts and 6 schedules. Key aspects included declaring Pakistan an Islamic state where only Muslims could be president, a federal parliamentary system with federal, provincial, and concurrent lists of powers, and a unicameral National Assembly with 300 members elected through direct adult franchise. However, it was never fully implemented as no elections were held under it before it was abrogated under martial law in 1958.

The federal legislature had control over defense, finance, and external affairs, while provinces had powers over education, police, and agriculture.
