Spanning 280 Articles and several schedules, it establishes a federal parliamentary system with a bicameral legislature, guarantees a comprehensive chapter of fundamental rights, and declares Pakistan an Islamic Republic in which all laws must conform to Islamic injunctions. As a rigid constitution requiring a two-thirds majority for amendment, it has been shaped over time by landmark changes such as the 18th Amendment, and remains the essential starting point for understanding the structure of the state, the separation of powers, and the rights of every citizen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
