Abstract: Abstract The quest of the Bangalees for political emancipation through constitutional rule and democracy culminated into a war of national liberation in 1971 out of which Bangladesh was born. Notwithstanding this history and the advent of constitutional order with features of good governance in 1972, the working of its political process has been drifting from crisis to crisis. Successive uses of the constitution as a political tool with impunity have diluted the integrity of, and intensified widespread concern and suspicion about the future of constitutional governance in Bangladesh.
