Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A tertiary encyclopedia article, used here only for well settled constitutional chronology (adoption dates, the four founding principles, the fact and rough dating of the Eighth Amendment) that is not seriously disputed and was independently cross-checked against other secondary reporting rather than relied on alone for anything contested. NotesReused across all three boundaries in the Bangladesh secularism position history: the 1972 constitution's adoption, the 1977 to 1988 outline, and the 1988 Eighth Amendment's declaration of Islam as state religion.
