About Constitution and Government MCQs

Questions cover the making of the Constitution in 1972, the drafting committee, the Preamble and fundamental principles of state policy, and fundamental rights such as equality before law, protection of life and personal liberty, and freedom of thought, speech and religion. Many questions name a specific article and ask what it provides. Questions on the original 1972 text, such as the seats reserved for women and the majority needed to amend the Constitution, are also included.

Other questions cover the executive, the Jatiya Sangsad and its seats, the two divisions of the Supreme Court, the Election Commission, the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Public Service Commission, as well as major amendments such as the Twelfth Amendment of 1991. National symbols, administrative units and voting age also appear in this topic. Read each question closely, because it may refer to the original text or to the Constitution as later amended.
