Fiji’s Recent Constitutional Frameworks

Fiji’s Recent Constitutional Frameworks is a comparative civic education guide examining the 1997 Constitution, the Ghai Draft Constitution and the 2013 Constitution side by side. It is designed to help citizens move beyond political assertions and engage directly with what each constitutional framework provides. Organised thematically, the publication compares their approaches to the preamble, founding principles, the Bill of Rights, electoral systems, Parliament, executive power, the judiciary, state services, accountability, constitutional amendment, the Bose Levu Vakaturaga and the National People’s Assembly. It explains key constitutional concepts in accessible language and highlights important similarities, differences and implications for democratic governance in Fiji.
