Description
Haiti adopted this constitution by public vote in 1987, after the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship, and the hosted text includes changes through 2012. Early titles cover the republic and its land, Haitian nationality, and the basic rights and duties of the citizen. Both Haitian Creole and French are official languages, a pairing the text states with pride, since Creole is the tongue of daily life.
Power is split on purpose. A president is head of state, while a prime minister, approved by Parliament, runs the government. Parliament pairs a Senate with a Chamber of Deputies. Later titles cover the courts, the army and police, local areas, and elections. The charter's checks were meant to block a new dictatorship.
