Constitution of Monaco

The Constitution of Monaco, first adopted in 1911 after the Monégasque Revolution and heavily revised by Prince Rainier III on 17 December 1962, outlines three branches of government, including several administrative offices and a number of councils, who share advisory and legislative power with the prince.

The constitution also defines the line of succession to the Monegasque throne; this section was modified on 2 April 2002.

By word count, it is the shortest constitution in the world currently in force.[1]
