The Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh is the supreme law of the country — the single document from which every other law, institution and public office draws its authority. For BCS, Bank and IT-officer examinations this is one of the highest-yield General Knowledge topics: almost every exam carries questions on the date the Constitution took effect, the four fundamental principles, the number of parts/articles/schedules, the fundamental rights, the three organs of government, and the major amendments. This lesson builds the whole picture from first principles so that you can answer any question — factual recall, comparison, or reasoning — with confidence.
