It was endorsed by 538 of 598 Constituent Assembly members and establishes a federal democratic republic with three tiers of government, federal, state and local, a parliamentary system led by a prime minister with a ceremonial president as head of state, and a bicameral federal legislature of a 275-member House of Representatives and a 59-member National Assembly across 308 articles.
