1997 Constitution of Thailand
This article was recently broken out of the Constitution of Thailand article due to length. I am primarily concerned with whether the standalone article is comprehensible without the legal/historical context provided by the Constitution of Thailand article.

I am also concerned with the general Good Article criteria, particularly whether the article is well written. Patiwat 23:41, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Well the article is understandble, the only thing I would suggest is it doesn't tell me the basics of this consitution. It just says what's new in this one from the other. I would like more information on basic freedoms the consitution provides, like does it provide the Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Basically what I'm saying is summarize the whole constitution, not just the new parts. - Tutmosis  00:02, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your comment. I've expanded on the human rights section.  At this point, it is somewhat difficult to summarize the whole constitution independently of the Constitution of Thailand article, since much of the '97 constitution relies on the legal context and background of previous constitutions.  But I have added a new section that gives a very very high level overview of each chapter of the Constitution. Patiwat 04:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yea I think the new section is an improvement. - Tutmosis  15:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I have also added a section on how succession is treated. Although the 1997 Constitution offered no innovation in this matter to most other post-1974 constitutions, it is an important topic, and one where the 2006 and 1997 Constitutions differ. Patiwat 01:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
