Constitutionalism of Zambia was initiated in 1964, followed by the era of one-party authoritarian governance. In the current era of neo-constitutionalism, the 1991 Constitution was amended in 1996 to institutionalize the Christian character of the Nation whilst the multi-religious character of the State was introduced in 2016. The 2019 constitutional amendment attempt aims at enhancing the Christian identity, deleting the multi-religious character and incorporating Christianism into the national values and principles „'morality and ethics". Besides, a double phenomenon of restructuring has been produced, which at domestic level refers to the Zambian national identity on the basis mainly of religion but also of constitutionalism, and at international level consists in the fundamental right to sovereign debt restructuring. It results that Zambia has been particularly connected with the phenomenon of pluralism, whose material version, exemplified by multi-culturalism, has been promoted by its legal one, namely the multiplicity of legal sources and orders.
