The law of Somalia rests on the Provisional Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia, the country's supreme law and the source of its legal authority, which sets out citizens' rights and duties and defines the structure of government. Adopted on August 1, 2012 by a National Constitutional Assembly in Mogadishu, the Provisional Constitution establishes a parliamentary system with a president as head of state, an appointed prime minister as head of government, and a bicameral legislature made up of the Senate and the House of the People.
