Description
Tanzania works under a constitution from 1977, and the hosted text includes changes through 2005. It governs a union of mainland Tanganyika and the islands of Zanzibar, formed in 1964. Early parts cover the United Republic, its parties, the people, and the policy of the state. A full part protects basic rights and duties, added in the 1980s after years without a rights chapter.
A president of the union leads the executive, with a prime minister running business in the National Assembly, the single union chamber. Zanzibar keeps its own president and House of Representatives for island matters. Later parts cover the courts, a special constitutional court for union disputes, local rule, and finance. Kiswahili is the national tongue of daily life and debate.
