Following massive protests over living conditions, privatization, and inequality, the Chilean government held a referendum in 2020 which established the Constitutional Convention with a clear mandate for reform. Delegates in this committee represent the elected members from all across Chile who will collectively draft a new constitution to replace the one left behind from the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. The new constitution will need to address pressing issues such as social welfare, indigenous rights, and protecting civil liberties while also creating a lasting compromise to bridge the various divides in Chilean society.
