Explanation

Nepal adopted its first full-fledged democratic constitution on September 20, 2015. This historic event marked the culmination of a long transition from a 240-year-old monarchy to a federal democratic republic. Although Nepal had several previous constitutions (1948, 1951, 1959, 1962, and 1990), those were 'granted' by the King rather than drafted by democratically elected representatives [1]. Following the abolition of the monarchy in 2008, the 2015 charter was promulgated by President Ram Baran Yadav through a Constituent Assembly [3]. The new constitution restructured the nation into seven provinces and established a secular, federal republican state [3]. In contrast, Bhutan adopted its democratic constitution earlier, on July 18, 2008 [2], while Myanmar's current constitution dates to 2008 [4].
