Explanation
The 18th Constitutional Amendment, passed in 2010, was a landmark change that significantly curtailed the powers of the President, abolished the Concurrent List (transferring more legislative powers to the provinces), and restored the 1973 Constitution to its original parliamentary spirit. It strengthened provincial autonomy and parliamentary democracy in Pakistan.
