Purpose and legislative effect

“This section amends the Constitution by repealing Parts I and II and replacing them with new Parts.”

This section amends the Constitution by repealing Parts I and II and replacing them with new Parts. This Constitution is the supreme law of Zambia, and people and state bodies in Zambia must comply with it. Every person has both a right and a duty to defend the Constitution and to resist or prevent attempts to overthrow, suspend, or illegally abrogate it. An unlawful attempt to overthrow, suspend, or illegally abrogate the Constitution does not affect the Constitution’s operation. The Republic must not be ceded in whole or in part, but it may join a union or other inter-state organisation.
