  1. Question 1

    Q1. A student says the 1973 Constitution was adopted on 14 August 1973 because that is Independence Day. Which correction about adoption versus commencement is right?

    • A) Adopted 10 April 1973 and commenced 14 August 1973
    • B) Adopted 14 August 1973 and commenced 23 March 1973
    • C) Adopted 16 December 1971 and commenced 14 August 1973
    • D) Adopted 14 August 1947 and commenced 10 April 1973

    Answer: Adopted 10 April 1973 and commenced 14 August 1973

    Explanation: The 1973 Constitution was adopted by the National Assembly on 10 April 1973 and came into force (commenced) on 14 August 1973, Pakistan's Independence Day. The confusion often arises because Independence Day is its commencement date, not its adoption date.
