Myanmar functions as a self-governing republic based on its constitution from 2008. Yet, on February 1, 2021, the military seized control in a coup, sparking continuous protests against this takeover. The nation has experienced periods of military domination in the past. Today’s governmental framework is marked by the military’s substantial influence. The president is responsible for selecting the cabinet, proposing judges, and leads the armed forces. Although officially a parliamentary republic, the military’s role remains a prominent aspect of Myanmar’s political system.
