The constitution declared that the political regime of Turkey was a republic and any
constitutional proposal to change this article was prohibited. The constitution also proclaimed that the Grand National Assembly was a true representative of the nation. The Assembly government model was recognized by the constitution. As the Assembly kept the legislative power in the political system, the president and the council of ministers controlled the executive power. The constitution stated that the president had the right to appoint a prime minister in order to form a council of ministers. The prime minister had to pick the ministers and submit them to the president for his approval and after the president’s approval of the list of the council of ministers, the prime minister had to seek the vote of confidence from the Grand National Assembly.
