The ''Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, Buddhist Era 2550 (2007)'' ((タイ語:รัฐธรรมนูญแห่งราชอาณาจักรไทย พุทธศักราช ๒๕๕๐); ) was the constitution of Thailand which was in effect from 2007 to 2014. On 19 September 2006, the Royal Thai Armed Forces staged a coup d'état against then prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, abrogated the 1997 constitution and formed a junta called Council for Democratic Reform (CDR). The 2006 interim constitution was then promulgated by King Bhumibol Adulyadej upon advice of the CDR leader, General Sonthi Boonyaratglin. The interim constitution established a Constitutional Convention (CC) and charged it with the duty to draft a new constitution before presenting the draft to the National Legislative Assembly (NLA), a legislature replacing the National Assembly abrogated by the CDR. The CC set up a constituent committee to draw up the draft. The committee consisted of thirty five members, of whom twenty five were selected by the CC itself and the other ten were selected by the CC upon advice of the CDR. After the draft was approved by the CC and the NLA respectively, a national referendum was organised by the Election Commission on 19 August 2007, allowing the people to approve or deny the entire draft. 56.69% of the voters voted in favor of the draft, 41.37% voted against it and 1.94% were invalid votes. King Bhumibol Adulyadej then signed it into law on 24 August 2007 and it came into force immediately. Two amendments had been made to this constitution, both coming to pass in 2011. The first amendment modified the composition of the House of Representatives, the second, the criteria governing the conclusion of treaties. On 22 May 2014, the National Peace and Order Maintaining Council, a military junta which staged a coup d'état against the caretaker government, repealed the constitution, save the second chapter which concerns the king. The constitution was completely repealed and replaced by an interim constitution on 22 July 2014. ==2006 Interim constitution== (詳細はseized power from the interim caretaker government of Thaksin Shinawatra and abrogated the Constitution of Thailand. It later established an interim constitution which specified a process for drafting the permanent constitution. The interim constitution: *Prohibits the 100 members of the CC from being current members of a political party or being members of a political party for the previous 2 years (Art. 19) *Spells out the peer-vote of a 2,000 member NLA to elect 200 candidates for the CC. Each member can vote for no more than three members, those nominated with the most votes will win. In the case of tied votes, which result in more than 200 winners, the winners will be decided by drawing lots. The peer-vote must complete in seven days (Art. 22). *Empowers the CDR to pick 100 of 200 CC candidates for royal approval (Art. 22). *Empowers the CDR to appoint a 100 member CC if the NLA fails to complete its selection within 7 days (Art. 23) *Empowers the 100 CC members to appoint 25 members of a constituent committee who may not be CC members. The CDR will appoint another 10 members. (Art. 25) *Forces the constituent committee to explain the differences between its draft and the 1997 Constitution. Forces the committee to present drafts to major state agencies and universities. Forces the committee to promote and hold public hearings (Art. 26). *Allows half the members of the NLA to submit amendments to the constitution (Art. 27) *Gives the constituent committee 30 days to compile feedback and amendments and compile a report stating why such amendments were accepted or rejected. The report will be presented to the CC for review along with the constitution for approval. Further amendments require a vote of 3/5's the membership of the CC (Art. 28) *Sets the 180-day deadline to complete the charter drafting before organising the referendum on the new charter within 30 days. The referendum will be managed by the CC (Art. 29) *Sets the 45-day deadline for the drafting of organic laws and bans the CDR members, NLA members and those involved in charter writing from contesting the general election and the senatorial race for two years (Art. 30) *Allows the CDR and Cabinet, chaired by the CDR Chairman, to select any previous constitution and revise it for use if the constituent committee's draft is not approved by public referendum or the CC does not approve the constitution (Art. 32) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2007 constitution of Thailand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
