Background...
Constitution Day
Constitution
Day, observed on December 10th every
year, commemorates the occasion when His
Majesty King Prajadhipok (Rama VII)
graciously granted the Constitution of
the Kingdom of Siam in 1932 (B.E. 2475)
on December 10, 1932. This was the first
permanent constitution of
Thailand.
The promulgation of this
new constitution repealed the
Provisional Constitution of the Kingdom
of Siam, 1932 (B.E. 2475), which had
been promulgated on June 27, 1932,
following the change of government by
the People's Party from an absolute
monarchy to a democracy on June 24 of
the same year. A key feature was the
change to a parliamentary system of
government. This is because the
Provisional Constitution of the Kingdom
of Siam, 1932 (B.E. 2475), stipulated
that the monarch, as head of state, was
not politically accountable and
exercised power through the Cabinet,
which the monarch appointed to serve the
government according to the House of
Representatives, the legislative branch.
The House not only exercised legislative
power but also had the power to control
the Cabinet in the administration of the
country.
However, the Cabinet,
including the monarch... The government,
comprising all members of parliament,
has the power to dissolve the House of
Representatives if it deems that its
actions are detrimental to or harmful to
the vital interests of the state. This
is equivalent to removing elected
members of parliament and allowing for
new elections by the people. Regarding
the monarchy, the law stipulates that
the monarch holds a position of
reverence and respect from the people,
and no one may violate
this.
The Democracy Monument
was built on June 24, 1939, which
coincided with the change in government
and was National Day at that time, at
the behest of Field Marshal P.
Phibulsongkram.
