Question #148244

The First Constituent Assembly of Pakistan was formed in August 1947, shortly after independence, with the primary goal of drafting the country's constitution. However, due to political instability and delays in the constitution-making process, it was dissolved on 24th October 1954 by the then Governor-General Ghulam Muhammad. This means it functioned for approximately 7 years before its dissolution. This event marked a significant moment in Pakistan's constitutional history, as it led to legal and political challenges regarding the powers of the Governor-General and the role of the judiciary.
