    Q1. Legal Framework Order–era rearrangements consolidating strong presidential discretion were principally translated into textual constitutional clauses through which mid‑2000s amendment act students pair with Musharraf’s transition politics?

    • A) The Sixteenth Constitutional Amendment

    Answer: The Seventeenth Constitutional Amendment

    Explanation: The Seventeenth Constitutional Amendment of 2003 formally incorporated the Legal Framework Order 2002 into the Constitution, legitimizing Musharraf's changes including the creation of the National Security Council and the President's power to dissolve the National Assembly. It represented the constitutional formalization of martial-law era arrangements as part of Musharraf's transition to a civilian façade.
