 History of Resolution

 Pakistan is the first nation in the world whose creation was

based on the religious motives. It was because of this reason
that the popular and famous slogan of "Pakistan ka matlab
kia? LaIllaha Illallah." Was the main basis of the demand of
Pakistan. At the very outset of its establishment, it had no
Islamic constitution of its own, so according to the
Independence act of 1947, the Government of India act 1935,
with certain amendments was adopted by Pakistan. However,a
new constitution was to be framed for the country since the
old act 1935 did not contain everything required for an
independent Islamic State.
  FIRST CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY

In order to establish a society based on the Islamic principles, a

constituent assembly was formed in 1947 with Quid-e-Azam as
its leader. The responsibility of making a constitution of
Pakistan rested on constituent assembly.

However, with the death of Quid-e-Azam on 11th September

1948, the responsibility of framing the constitution fell upon the
shoulders of the first Prime Minister ,Liaqat Ali Khan.
