History . . . Constitution Day
Constitution Day falls on December 10 of every year. It is a day to commemorate the occasion when King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) graciously granted the Constitution of the Kingdom of Siam, B.E. 2475 (1932) on December 10, B.E. 2475 (1932), the first permanent constitution of Thailand.
As a result of the promulgation of this new constitution, the Provisional Constitution of Siam Act B.E. 2475 (1932) was repealed, which was promulgated on June 27, B.E. 2475 (1932), after the change of government by the People's Party from an absolute monarchy to a democracy on June 24 of the same year. The important feature is that the government system was changed to a parliamentary system. This is because the Provisional Constitution of Siam Act B.E. 2475 (1932) stipulated that the King, who is the head of state, is not politically responsible. He exercises power through the cabinet, which the King appoints to serve the country for the House of Representatives, which is the legislative branch. He does not only exercise legislative power, but also has the power to control the cabinet in the administration of the country.
However, the cabinet, including the King, which constitutes the government It has the power to dissolve the House of Representatives if it sees that it has acted in a way that will threaten or damage the important interests of the state, which is equivalent to removing the elected members of the House of Representatives so that the people can elect them again. As for the King, it is stipulated that the King is in a position of respect and worship of the people and cannot be violated by anyone. As for the Democracy Monument, it was built on June 24, 1939, which was the day of the change of government and was National Day at that time, by the wish of Field Marshal P. Phibunsongkhram.
