Pakistan was constitutionally named the "Islamic Republic of Pakistan" for the first time under:
  • The 1949 Objectives Resolution
  • The Constitution of 1956✔️
  • The Constitution of 1973
  • None of these
Correct Answer Explanation
Pakistan was formally named the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for the first time in its first Constitution of 1956. Before 1956, Pakistan was a British Dominion (1947-1956). The 1956 Constitution established Pakistan as an Islamic Republic, though it was abrogated in 1958. Both subsequent constitutions (1962 and 1973) retained this name.
