The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Carloso (Carlosian: TBD) is the supreme law of Carloso.
The Constitution created a system of representative democracy in Carloso, inherited from the previous constitution, but established Carloso for the first time as a federation of administrative provinces rather then a unitary state. While generally categorised as a federal republic, Carloso under the 1956 constitution is often referred to as a 'quasi-federal' or a 'unitary state with a federal spirit', due to the limited powers delegated to the provinces and the supremacy of the central government.
