Overview of objective resolution under constitution of pakistanSHeikh Muhammad Adnan
The document provides an overview of the Objectives Resolution under the Constitution of Pakistan as presented by Dr. Sheikh Muhammad Adnan. The key points are:
- The Objectives Resolution was passed in 1949 and laid down principles for the future constitution, including that sovereignty belongs to Allah and the state shall observe the principles of democracy, freedom and justice as outlined in Islam.
- It proclaimed Pakistan would not follow a purely Western constitutional model but would incorporate Islamic ideology and principles of democracy.
- The Resolution has faced criticism for merging religion and politics and not guaranteeing equal treatment of all religions. However, supporters argue it allows democracy within Islamic limits.
- It was later added to the constitutions of 1956
Pakistan faced numerous challenges after gaining independence in 1947, including:
1) Determining whether it would be a secular state or an Islamic state governed by sharia law.
2) Distributing power between the central and provincial governments, which eventually led to East Pakistan seceding to become Bangladesh.
3) Managing the violence and massive refugee crisis that accompanied the partition, with up to 24 million people displaced and hundreds of thousands dead.
4) Establishing political and economic stability despite the division of the new country into two wings over 1,600 km apart, lack of infrastructure and personnel for government, and loss of major economic partners and trade routes.
constitution 1973 Islamic republic of Pakistan(2017) pptMalikSayriii
The document summarizes the key aspects of Pakistan's Constitution of 1973, including its origins, salient features, amendments, and provisions related to Islam. It originated after Pakistan gained independence and underwent various interim constitutions until the current 1973 version was unanimously passed. Some key elements include its federal parliamentary system, fundamental rights protections, establishment of an independent judiciary, and the declaration of Islam as the state religion. It has undergone over 20 amendments since its enactment.
1. Several Islamic revivalist movements emerged in South Asia between the 17th-19th centuries in response to perceived religious deviations, including those led by Shaikh Ahmed Sarhindi, Shah Waliullah, Sayed Ahmed Shaheed, and Haji Shareeatullah.
2. Mughal emperor Akbar's religious reforms, which included bans on cow slaughter and practices like ghusl, as well as the introduction of a new religion "Deen-e-Illahi", faced a strong reaction from Shaikh Ahmed Sirhindi who saw these as non-Islamic beliefs and sought to purify Islam and promote a separate Muslim identity.
3. Sirhindi is considered a major figure
Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah served as the first Governor General of Pakistan for 13 months after independence in 1947. During this short period, he tackled numerous challenges facing the new nation like refugee resettlement, constitutional issues, and financial problems. He established key foundations of government including the capital in Karachi, civil service structures, foreign relations, and an education policy focused on science and technology. Quaid-e-Azam worked tirelessly for Pakistan's development even as his health declined, demonstrating his strong leadership and commitment to the new country.
The Constitution of 1962 established Pakistan as an Islamic Republic with a presidential system that centralized power in the president. It included Islamic provisions like requiring the president and laws to adhere to Islamic principles. However, it was abrogated in 1969 when President Ayub Khan imposed martial law and transferred power to General Yahya Khan, leading to elections and the eventual separation of East Pakistan.
Quaid-e-Azam and Early Problems of Pakistanbabak danyal
The document discusses the early problems faced by Pakistan after its creation in 1947. It summarizes that Pakistan had no central administration, economic or political organization, and was militarily weak. It relied heavily on its leader, Quaid-e-Azam, to address these challenges. A key problem was an unjust boundary award that deprived Pakistan of Muslim-majority areas and threatened its very existence. The boundary commission, led by Cyril Radcliffe, awarded areas like Gurdaspur to India against evidence of Muslim majorities, harming Pakistan strategically and economically. Overall, the boundary award issues unjustly and deliberately to the detriment of Pakistan.

The Indian Independence Act of 1947 officially declared independence for India and partitioned British India into two separate independent dominions - India and Pakistan. The Act established the dominions with legislative supremacy and freedom from British rule. It took effect on August 15, 1947, bringing the British period in India to an end after over 300 years and establishing India's status as an independent and sovereign republic within the Commonwealth.
History of Media Laws in Pakistan (1947 2019)Abid Zafar
The document summarizes Pakistan's press laws from 1947 to 2018. It discusses how the press was controlled under various military regimes through laws like the Press and Publications Ordinance that imposed restrictions and censorship. Newspapers faced censorship and harassment. The press enjoyed more freedom after 1988 when repressive laws were abolished, but still faced some issues with governments at times. The media environment improved further after Musharraf took over in 1999.
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.
The 1962 Constitution of Pakistan introduced a presidential system of government with extensive powers for the president. It adopted a unicameral parliament called the National Assembly without a Senate. A new system of Basic Democracies was introduced to indirectly elect the president, MNAs, and MPAs. While the constitution ensured an independent judiciary, the president had authority over judge appointments and transfers. It also aimed to establish an Islamic ideological state by implementing Sharia law, eliminating non-Islamic practices, and establishing institutions to promote Islamic teachings.
The 1892 Indian Councils Act increased the number of additional members in the Central and Provincial Legislative Councils in India and expanded their functions to include discussing legislative proposals and budgets. It also empowered the Governor-General to invite representative bodies to elect non-official members and allowed members to put questions on internal matters.
The document discusses the Constitution of Pakistan from 1973. It establishes Pakistan as an Islamic republic based on principles of the Quran and Sunnah. The constitution provides for fundamental rights, a parliamentary democracy, and an independent judiciary. It introduced a federal system with power shared between provincial and central governments. However, the constitution has faced instability with multiple amendments and suspensions over the years.
Failure of Judiciary and Dirty Politics of PakistanChaudhryAhmedYar
The judiciary of Pakistan has failed according to several metrics. It ranks 120th out of 128 judiciaries globally in terms of independence, corruption, and delays. There are over 2.18 million pending cases in Pakistan's courts, with some cases taking years to resolve. The judiciary lacks independence as the government and powerful interests regularly interfere. Corruption among judges, lawyers, and staff further undermine the system. There is also a shortage of judges, with around 4,000 handling millions of cases. Pakistani politics is also criticized for issues like fake promises, corruption, attacks on opponents, nepotism, and incompetence that have undermined governance.
The Legal Framework Order of 1970 established the legal framework for elections in Pakistan following the abrogation of the 1962 constitution. It dissolved the One Unit system in West Pakistan and replaced the principle of parity with direct elections. The Order laid out the distribution of seats in the National and Provincial Assemblies, and established that elections would be held in October and December of 1970. It also outlined broad principles for the new constitution, including establishing Pakistan as an Islamic republic, preserving Islamic principles, and ensuring fundamental rights and independence for provinces.
The British government appointed the Simon Commission in 1927 to evaluate India's political conditions and propose constitutional reforms, as had been promised. However, the commission lacked Indian representation, so the Indian National Congress and some Muslims boycotted it. There were large protests against the commission wherever it went in India. Despite the boycott, the commission submitted a report with recommendations like reducing central/governor power and introducing federalism, but extending voting rights only modestly. The report was rejected by both Congress and the Muslim League.
CAUSES OF CREATION OF MUSLIM LEAGUE: HISTORY AND BACKGROUND:abdullahkhalid50
1) The document discusses the various causes that led to the creation of the All India Muslim League in 1906, including the decline of the Mughal Empire, the 1857 war of independence, the establishment of the British system of government and the Indian National Congress.
2) It describes Sir Syyid Ahmed Khan's role in advocating for separate electorates and the Aligarh movement to promote education and political participation for Indian Muslims.
3) The partition of Bengal in 1905 and the resulting hostility between Hindus and Muslims is cited as a key cause, leading Muslim leaders to decide to form a common organization to represent Muslim interests.
Pakistan has great geo-strategic significance due to its geographical location. It sits at a pivotal point between Central Asia, South Asia, China, the Middle East, and India. This gives it strategic importance as a transit route for trade, energy, and transportation. Pakistan also plays a key role in global and regional politics as the only nuclear power in the Islamic world and a partner in the war on terror.
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.
The Nehru Report of 1928 was drafted by a committee led by Motilal Nehru in response to the British challenge to Indian political leaders to draft a constitution for India. The report proposed that India be granted Dominion status within the British Commonwealth, with a federal structure including a bicameral legislature and responsible government. It did not accept the separate electorate system or reservations based on religion. While most Indian leaders accepted the report, the Muslim League opposed abandoning the Lucknow Pact's protections for religious minorities. The British did not accept the report.
The document discusses the constitutions of Pakistan, including the 1956, 1962, and 1973 constitutions. It provides details on the key features of each constitution such as the political system, roles of the president and prime minister, structure of the national assembly, and federalism. It notes that the 1956 constitution was the country's first but was never fully implemented as no elections were held. The 1962 constitution established after a military coup centralized power in the presidency.
A political party is an organized group of citizens who share similar political views and try to control the government through constitutional means. They educate citizens, contest elections, provide a link between the people and government, and more. There are three main systems of government - one party, two party, and multi-party. In a one party system only one party is allowed, in a two party system two major parties dominate, and in a multi-party system more than two parties operate together or in coalition. Regionalism and communalism can hinder India's political system when parties are formed along regional or religious lines rather than national interests.
The document summarizes Pakistan's National Action Plan created in response to the 2014 terrorist attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar. The plan included executing convicted terrorists, establishing military courts for terrorism trials, cracking down on terrorist financing, reforming madrassas, and strengthening military operations against terrorists. The objective of the plan was to eliminate terrorism from Pakistan and create a safer country. The government and military leaders expressed their commitment to fully implementing the National Action Plan to defeat terrorism.
The functions of government executive branchNitashaMaqsood
The Executive branch of the Pakistani government is responsible for the daily management and administration of the country.

The 1956 constitution established Pakistan as an Islamic Republic but was abandoned after 9 years. The 1962 constitution established a presidential system that concentrated power in the president and was also short-lived. The current 1973 constitution returned Pakistan to a parliamentary democracy but maintained some centralized federal powers.
The document discusses the history and objectives of Pakistan's constitution. It outlines how the Lahore Resolution of 1940 first proposed the idea of a separate Muslim homeland called Pakistan. On March 12, 1949, Pakistan's Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan introduced the Objectives Resolution which established that Pakistan's future constitution would be based on Islamic ideology and democracy rather than European models. The Resolution outlined several principles including that sovereignty belongs to God and the state exercises power on His behalf, democracy and social justice will be observed under Islamic principles, and minorities will be free to practice their religions.
The document provides details about the government and politics of Pakistan, including:
- The Objective Resolution of 1949 which serves as the foundation of Pakistan's constitution.
- The formation of the Basic Principles Committee to draft the first constitution.
- Criticism of the committee's initial reports and proposals.
- The dissolution of the first Constituent Assembly in 1954 and legal challenges to the governor general's power to do so.
- The Muhammad Ali Bogra formula which proposed a new power sharing agreement but failed to be implemented before the assembly was dissolved.
- The creation of the second Constituent Assembly in 1955 with reduced representation.
Pakistan has had 4 constitutions since its independence in 1947. The interim constitution was the Government of India Act of 1935. The constitutions of 1956, 1962, and 1973 were later adopted but all faced amendments or abrogation. The 1973 constitution remains in effect today but has faced numerous amendments over controversial issues like the powers of the Prime Minister and President. Pakistan's constitutional development has been impacted by political instability, martial laws, the language issue, and the distribution of powers between federal and provincial governments.
The constituent assembly drafted and passed India's constitution between 1946 and 1949. It was led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and included representatives from various communities. Key events included Nehru proposing the objectives resolution outlining democratic principles, the drafting committee creating a rough draft, and three readings of the draft. The constitution was finally adopted on November 26, 1949 and came into effect on January 26, 1950, establishing India as a sovereign, democratic republic.
The 1956 Constitution of Pakistan:
- Established Pakistan as an Islamic republic and required the president to be Muslim.
- Provided for a parliamentary system of government led by a prime minister responsible to the National Assembly.
- Divided governing powers between the federal and provincial governments using lists of responsibilities.
- Guaranteed fundamental rights for citizens but emphasized Islamic principles and sharia law.
- Was opposed by Bengali autonomy groups and never fully implemented before being abrogated in 1958 under martial law.
constitutional framework of Pakistan and its descriptionsyedmirsyed
The document summarizes key features of Pakistan's constitutions from 1956 to 1973. It discusses the parliamentary system established under the 1956 constitution which declared Pakistan an Islamic Republic. It then outlines the presidential system of the 1962 constitution introduced after a military coup, giving strong powers to the president. Finally, it describes the 1973 constitution which reestablished a parliamentary democracy and included provisions for fundamental rights, Islamic principles, and federalism between provinces.
Since its independence, Pakistan has experienced Constitutional crisis. It has gone through the phases of several democratic governments and marshal laws. Overall, in 67 years of its existence, it has witnesses four constitutions, that were promulgated in 1956, 1962, 1972 and 1973.The Constitution of 1972 was an interim Constitution therefore, do not have much significance historically. Today the constitution of 1973 is in field and is source of all the guidance.
This document provides an overview of the constitutional development of Pakistan. It discusses the key documents that served as interim constitutions, including the Indian Independence Act of 1947 and the Government of India Act of 1935. It then summarizes the three main constitutions of Pakistan that were passed in 1956, 1962, and 1973, highlighting some of their main features. It also lists the Governors-General, Presidents, and Prime Ministers of Pakistan and provides brief biographies.
The 1956 Constitution of Pakistan established Pakistan as an Islamic Republic with sovereignty belonging to Allah. It implemented a parliamentary system of government with a President as the ceremonial head of state. Some key features included establishing Urdu and Bengali as national languages, introducing direct elections, and protecting fundamental rights. The constitution distributed powers between the central and provincial governments through federalism.
The document discusses the constitutional development of Pakistan, including key events and documents such as the Objective Resolution (1949), the Constitution of 1956, and the Constitution of 1973. The Objective Resolution laid out founding principles for Pakistan to be an Islamic democratic state, and served as the basis for subsequent constitutions. The Constitution of 1956 established Pakistan as an Islamic republic with a parliamentary system, but had drawbacks like an imbalance of power between federal and provincial governments. The Constitution of 1973, still in force today, aimed to address issues with previous constitutions.
The document summarizes the Constitution of Pakistan of 1962. Some key points:
1. The constitution established a presidential system of government with a powerful president who had executive, legislative, and some judicial powers.
2. It provided for a single-house legislature called the National Assembly and a federal system with a strong central government.
3. The constitution included some fundamental rights for citizens and eventually allowed political parties after initially banning them. It also included some Islamic provisions and emphasized Islamic principles.

Wildlife and biodiversity are important for ecosystem sustainability. Higher biodiversity leads to more sustainable ecosystems that can withstand external stresses, as it supports greater genetic variety and natural processes. Sustainable wildlife management involves balancing human and wildlife needs. It is important for providing resources, economic benefits, and ecological functions like pollination and seed dispersal. However, species and habitat loss due to human overexploitation and activities like deforestation threaten sustainability. Ensuring sustainable trade, consumption, and land use through techniques like planning and public education can help address these issues and promote long-term wildlife survival.
Wildlife includes all organisms that grow without human interaction and can be found in all ecosystems, though the term is generally used for mammals and reptiles but not fishes and invertebrates. Wildlife conservation is needed to maintain ecological balance, for its aesthetic value, as a source of game animals and recreation, and because humans should not destroy God's creatures. Wildlife also has commercial uses as a gene bank, for research, and as a cultural asset.
The document discusses biodiversity and species conservation. It notes that life on Earth has existed for 4 billion years and diversified greatly, but human activity now threatens to wipe out a large proportion of biodiversity. Biodiversity increases from the poles to the tropics potentially due to more climate stability or higher energy input in the tropics. Reasons to conserve species include direct economic uses, ecosystem services, future benefits, and existence value. Both natural and human-caused hazards endanger biodiversity, such as pollution, climate change, and habitat loss.
Wildlife refers to organisms that live and grow in nature without human intervention. Wildlife is found in all ecosystems and provides many important benefits. It is an integral part of ecosystems, as plants and animals rely on wildlife for pollination, seed dispersal, and nutrient recycling. Wildlife is also economically and scientifically important. It contributes to industries like tourism, medicine, and wood products. Wildlife is also used for agricultural research, as experimental animals, and to study disease. Maintaining biodiversity and wildlife is crucial for balanced natural systems and human well-being.
This document outlines the major characteristics used to classify microorganisms, including their morphological, chemical, cultural, metabolic, antigenic, genetic, pathogenic, and ecological characteristics. Morphological characteristics are determined microscopically and include cell shape, size, and structure. Chemical characteristics involve the organic and inorganic compounds that make up microbial cells. Cultural characteristics refer to an organism's nutritional and environmental growth requirements. Metabolic characteristics describe how microbes obtain and use energy. Antigenic characteristics involve surface compounds that trigger immune responses. Genetic characteristics have been elucidated through DNA and RNA analysis. Pathogenic characteristics determine if microbes can cause disease. Ecological characteristics describe an organism's natural habitat.
The document discusses biological rhythms and clocks. It defines biological clocks as innate timing mechanisms that control periodic functions like metabolism and sleep cycles. The master clock is located in the brain's suprachiasmatic nucleus and coordinates all biological clocks. Examples of biological rhythms discussed include circadian (daily), lunar & tidal, and circannual (yearly) rhythms. Photoperiodism is the response of organisms to changes in light and dark periods and affects functions like flowering, reproduction, and hormone release in plants and animals. Disruptions to natural biological rhythms can cause disorders like jet lag and shift work sleep problems.
The document discusses comprehension skills taught in a 4th semester university course. It outlines 6 key comprehension skills: summarizing, sequencing, comparing and contrasting, self-questioning, problem solving, and relating background knowledge. For each skill, it provides a brief definition - for example, summarizing is giving a brief statement of the main points in a text, while sequencing relates to understanding the order of events or movements.
The document discusses various aspects of reading comprehension including skills needed for effective comprehension such as finding main ideas and supporting details. It differentiates between skimming, which involves finding the main idea or gist of a passage quickly, and scanning, which is even faster reading to locate specific information. The document outlines guidelines for skimming including keeping your purpose and pace in mind. It also discusses three levels of comprehension from literal to applied and provides examples of material that is suitable for scanning such as lists, catalogs and articles.
Cell fractionation is a three step process to rupture cells and separate their constituents in isotonic medium to study structure, composition and function. The steps are extraction, homogenization, and centrifugation. Extraction suspends cells in a mild isotonic solution to maintain biological activity. Homogenization then disrupts the cells using grinding, high pressure, osmotic shock, or sonication. Lastly, centrifugation separates the various components by density through sequential centrifugation at increasing forces in an ultracentrifuge. Equilibrium density gradient centrifugation further separates particles based on differences in buoyant density.
This document discusses the process of microtomy, which is used to cut thin sections of tissues for microscopic study. It involves fixing, processing, dehydrating, clearing, and embedding tissues in paraffin blocks. These blocks are then sectioned using a microtome into thin slices, which are placed on slides and stained for examination under light or electron microscopes. The key steps are fixation to preserve tissue structure, processing to remove water, sectioning ultrathin slices, and staining for high contrast visualization of cellular structures.
This document discusses different types of scientific data. There are two major approaches to gathering information: primary data, which is collected directly by the researcher, and secondary data, which has already been collected for another purpose. Primary data allows the researcher to collect specific information but is more expensive and time-consuming to obtain. Secondary data is easier to obtain but the researcher has less control over what is collected. The document also distinguishes between quantitative data, which focuses on numbers, and qualitative data, which involves descriptions. Both types of data are useful but also have limitations.

This document provides background on Charles Darwin and his voyage on the HMS Beagle. It describes how Darwin was fascinated by natural history and studied the plants and animals of the Galapagos Islands during the Beagle's visit. On the Galapagos, Darwin observed many unique and endemic species, including giant tortoises, lava lizards, and crabs. He noted variations between tortoise populations on different islands that would later inform his theory of evolution by natural selection. The desolate Galapagos landscapes initially disappointed Darwin but revealed greater complexity upon closer examination.

1. Energy drives all life processes at the cellular level and exists in two forms: kinetic energy which is actively involved in work and potential energy which is stored for future use. Cells obtain energy through chemical reactions obeying the laws of thermodynamics.
2. Enzymes are protein catalysts that greatly increase the rate of chemical reactions in cells by lowering the activation energy required. Enzyme structure allows for specific binding of substrate molecules in the active site.
3. Factors like temperature and pH can affect enzyme shape and activity by disrupting bonds critical for structure and function. Cofactors and coenzymes are additional non-protein molecules that facilitate enzyme catalysis.

Valence bond theory describes covalent bond formation using quantum mechanics. It assumes that covalent bonds are formed by the overlapping of half-filled atomic orbitals between two atoms, with the electrons being shared between the nuclei. There are two types of covalent bonds: sigma (σ) bonds formed by head-on overlapping of orbitals, and pi (π) bonds formed by side-by-side overlapping of orbitals. The extent of orbital overlapping determines the bond strength.

The document summarizes Muhammad Ali Bogra's cabinet in Pakistan from 1953-1955. It notes that the cabinet was appointed by the Governor General and consisted mainly of members from West Pakistan. The cabinet aligned Pakistan with the Western bloc by signing defense pacts with the US and others. However, the cabinet struggled with internal divisions and a weak prime minister, and failed to adequately address Pakistan's economic problems. Military and bureaucratic elites also exerted significant influence over decision making.
Transcription of DNA to RNA full description only on Slide share by Naeem UllahYo yo Nody khan
Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. It involves unwinding the DNA double helix, synthesizing a complementary mRNA single strand according to the DNA template, and modifying the mRNA before it exits the nucleus. Unlike DNA replication, only a short segment of DNA is transcribed into mRNA at a time during transcription.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Early constitutional history of Pakistan, !956,1962 and 1973 constitutions
1. Constitutional History of Pakistan
Introduction
• Pakistan got its independence on 14 August 1947. Pakistan became a republic in
1956 as it remained without constitution almost 9 years. Soon, it was abrogated by
military coup d’etat in 1958. The military government gave a new constitution to
Pakistan which was presidential in nature.
• Again the 1962 constitution was suspended in 1969 and later on abrogated in1972.
• The 1973 constitution was first one which was framed by elected body. This
constitution still incumbent in the country. The constitution grants parliamentary
form of government in the country. Again, this constitution has faced a number of
ups and downs which would be discussed later on. Now our focus would be on
early constitution making history of Pakistan.
2. Do you know
• What is republic? A republic is one which has an elected head of state either elected
directly or indirectly.
• What is parliamentary form of government? It is a government in which head of
state is president while head government is prime minister. All the powers rest with
prime minister while president is titular head of state. Pakistan, India, United
Kingdom and Bangladesh are best examples of parliamentary form of government.
Parliament is powerful. Executive belongs to parliament. While presidential form of
government is one in which all power lies in the office of president. Parliament has
no influence in executive affairs. The best example of it is United States of
America.
3. Early Constitutional Making History in
Pakistan
• The early constitutional history of the country can be divided into three
phases
I. 1947 to 1954 phase
II. 1954 to 1956 phase
III. 1956 to 1958 Republic period
• The constitutional phase of 1947 to 1954 can be studied as period of First
Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. In this period, we shall discuss all those
steps taken by first constituent assembly of Pakistan for constitution making
process.
4. Formation of First Constituent Assembly
• The first constituent assembly came into being under Indian Independence
Act of 1947. The roots of the assembly went back to the elections of 1945-
46 in India. It was established with the acceptance of 3rd June 1948 plan.
• It was comprised on 69 members, later on numbers were extended to 79.
The first session of Pakistan first constituent assembly was held on 10
August 1947 in Karachi. In this session, Mr. Jugandernarth Mendal was
elected as its temporary chairman while Jinnah was elected its first president
subsequently. Maulvi Tamiz ud din was elected as its deputy president.
5. continue
• Under the Indian Independence Act 1947, the assembly was given two tasks:
first one is to formulate new constitution and second is to act as a federal
legislature. The functions of federal legislature were defined under 1935 Act
of India.
• As a constitution making body it was completely independent. The
constituent Assembly could amend Indian Independence Act with simple
majority. Moreover, no law without its approval. The bill needed to be signed
by the president of Assembly.
• The constituent Assembly formed several committees to carry out its
functions. The most important of them was Basic Principal Committees.
6. The Objectives Resolution
• One of the most important documents in the constitutional history of Pakistan.
Passed on 12 March 1949, it is Magna Carta in constitutional history of Pakistan.
• Its object was to pacify the centrifugal forces as well as centripetal ones in the
country.
• It has been included in all the three constitutions of Pakistan as preamble. However,
after 8th Amendment, it was incorporated in Pakistan Constitution during Zia’s
regime. The followings are major features of objective Resolution:
7. • Sovereignty belongs to Allah, all the decisions and laws are formulated in
light of Quran and Sunnah. Authority is sacred trust which should be
exercised within prescribed limits.
• Head of state must be Muslim as well as head of government.
• All the Muslims should be provided enviable environment for carrying out
all the religious rituals.
• The state will exercise its powers through elected representatives.
8. • The provisions were granted for the smooth environment for well being of
minorities.
• Pakistan would be federation with autonomous units. The sovereignty would
be protected.
• Pakistan would provide its due role in international peace and prosperity.
• Special efforts would be taken for economic well being of the people. The
backward regions would be uplifted with due attention.
9. • Urdu would be national language.
• Pakistan must have peaceful relationship with Muslim nations.
10. Significance of Objectives Resolution
• For the time being, it diffused the tensions between religion and politics.
• It answered the questions of conservatives( Islamists and fundamentalists)
• It also answered the questions of liberals.
• It acts as a policy guideline even today world
• It envisaged democracy in Pakistan.
