Successive Burmese political leaders have established a unitary system in Myanmar, under various seemingly benevolent labels, to allow the Burmese to control and manipulate the country as they desire.
Three constitutions were drafted for these unitary administrations. However, these administrations were unsuccessful and failed. Therefore, this study analyzes why the unitary structure and unitary administration were not successful in Myanmar, hoping to contribute to the construction of a new federal democratic union in the future.
The three constitutions enacted in Myanmar will be analyzed in three parts:
(1) 1947 Constitution
(2) 1974 Constitution
(3) 2008 Constitution
