Which issue was a significant shortcoming of the 1963 Constitution, contributing to political instability?

  1. Lack of provisions for judicial independence
  2. Weaknesses in the electoral system
  3. Failure to address regional disparities
  4. Absence of a bill of rights ✓
Explanation

The 1963 Constitution did not include a strong bill of rights. Citizens’ freedoms were not well protected.

Without clear rights protections, governments could more easily abuse their power.

Later constitutions addressed this by including detailed fundamental rights.
