ABSTRACT
Turkey since the revolution has got a constitution which in many wars has similarities with that of the United States. The constitution adopted in 1924 while the Turkish Republic was coming victoriously out of the struggle bears many marks of the revolutionary period through which it had passed. The present electoral system in Turkey has some similarity to the British. The judicial system of Turkey claims to be completely free from political influence, and there are strong reasons for accepting this claim as justified. The police system in Turkey has a political as well as a judicial side. The judicial deals with public order, and is under the civil authorities at all levels. Political controversy, even over matters where no great issues of principle are involved, can become extraordinarily bitter. Personal enmities in the political life of the country do indicate a certain immaturity in the Turkish democracy.
