Abstract

Constitutions are built on a set of parts that together form the unity of the constitution. Each part consists of a set of texts and represents a certain philosophy. These parts are sequenced starting from the preamble to the last part, which is the final provisions. This part is characterized by formal and substantive aspects, the most important of which is its inclusion of a set of different constitutional provisions that are not consistent from a substantive perspective. Constitutions have traditionally included this part at their conclusion, but it has not been in a single format. Instead, it has appeared in various forms related to formal and substantive aspects, affecting the shape and nature of the constitution's philosophy.

The drafting of constitutional texts does not come in a narrative form but is divided into parts, each part specializing in a number of texts and representing a certain philosophy. Among the parts of the constitution are the final provisions. Modern constitutions stipulate a final chapter in the constitution called the final provisions, which includes articles related to topics not previously addressed within its chapters. This designation is relatively modern, having appeared with the emergence of modern constitutions after 1990. Before that, constitutions used to label them as general provisions.
