The country which is referred as the Constitution Research Society in Greece. Well, tailing its history further…

In the year of 1947, Greece evolved out of a period during which dissolution of the democratic institution happened, it lasted up to 7 years which was referred to as the Colonels’ Dictatorship. Post a year, the new constitution was voted up by the 5th Revisionary Parliament, thus flagging for the comeback of the democracy. In respect to an Act of 3rd and 4th of October 1974, the activity for this undertaking was endowed to the Government, headed by Konstantinos Karamanlis, which was framed after the parliamentary decisions of 17 November. A drafted constitution was been prepared by the Government in December 1974, which was distributed to the MPs and was widely publicized.

In January 1975, accordingly some of the provision was reviewed by the Government, hence the draft of the Constitution was been filled with respect to the Parliament, and the new constitution was framed again during the revisionary work. Having the new experience of seven yearlong oppression, the protected lawgiver of 1975, enlivened both by the Greek sacred custom and by outside established advances, gave the Country a content which without a doubt consolidated directions competent to secure the common and political freedoms of the Greeks, regard for the esteem and pride of man and the improvement and adjustment of the welfare state. The same time period, the constitutional legislator picked as a type of government parliamentary republic and, all the more particularly, as per the submission of 8 December, which underlined the political change that happened, a [presided parliamentary democracy]. By involving this denominative [presided], the lawgiver of the constitution focused on the fact that the head of the state should be elected and none of their heir. Eleven years of political life took after, which were set apart by the smooth working of establishments, yet, likewise, by difference about the best possible degree if presidential capabilities and in 1986 the primary amendment of the Country's protected diagram occurred, with the activity of the parliamentary greater part of the PASOK party. The change, concentrated principally on the issue of presidential abilities which it radically shortened, while assist strengthening the forces of the Prime Minister. As per the consequences, or the power of the president is concerned, the loss of the denominative [presided] is important. In opposition to what had been the situation with the main, the second amendment of the Constitution, which occurred following an extra fifteen years, likewise set apart by the perfect working of political establishments, is described as consensual and came to finishing in 2001. Its expand incredibly surpasses, to be sure, the degree of the prior amendment; it incorporates a wide range of controls, for example, among other, new human rights made by innovative advance, rights which come to be added to the list of established freedoms, the immediate application, where suitable, of sacred rights to the connections among private gatherings, the widening of security both of the characteristic and the social condition, the assertion of the standard of social welfare express, the task of lawmaking forces to the Parliament's Standing Committees, the modernization of the arrangement of the legal audit of the defendability of the demonstrations of parliament, the protected status of the autonomous authoritative specialists. These are changes whose application by and by as of now appear to legitimize the decisions made by the revisionary legislator.

As three years have been elapsed by the time of second revision, and in the next few months, Parliament will be eligible to celebrate the 30 years of the life of the Constitution, which displays the political and constitutional history of modern Greece. Within the framework of this display… the Parliament's version close by wishes to make accessible the substance of the Country's sacred diagram to the English-talking group on the larger scale.
