Which constitutional amendment of 1996 made the UAE Constitution permanent instead of temporary?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Constitutional Amendment No. 1 of 1996
- Step 1: The Wikisource text of Part X of the Constitution carries the footnote 'Article (144) was amended by Constitutional Amendment 1/1996 by which the constitution became permanent.' and 'The word "temporary" was deleted by Constitutional Amendment 1/1996.' Answer: Constitutional Amendment No. 1 of 1996. Why not the others: Provisional Constitutional Amendment No. 1 of 1976 is not the amendment the footnote names; Constitutional Amendment No. 2 of 2004 is not the amendment the footnote names; Constitutional Amendment No. 1 of 2008 is not the amendment the footnote names.
