Date effective	20 June 1956
System	Federal parliamentary republic with an executive presidency
Chambers	Unicameral
Executive	President
Federalism	Federation

The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Carloso (Carlosian: TBD) is the fundamental law of Carloso.

While the constitution de jure established Carloso as a federal, parliamentary republic, since its enactment there has been much debate about whether this is the case in reality. Constitutional scholars had remarked that, in reality, Carlosian federalism is better described as a form of devolution, as seen in many unitary states. Few of the powers given to the provinces are constitutionally protected, and most have been granted purely at the discretion of the National Assembly.
