Correct Answer Explanation
The 18th Constitutional Amendment was passed on April 8, 2010. It was a landmark legislation that significantly decentralized Pakistan, abolishing the Concurrent Legislative List (devolving 47 subjects to provinces), restoring the 1973 Constitution's parliamentary character, renaming NWFP as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and curtailing presidential powers. It fundamentally reshaped federal-provincial relations.
