According to the Constitution itself, it was to enter into force on the day of its publication in the Butlletí Oficial del Principat d'Andorra, which occurred on 28 April 1993.
The Constitution was signed by Andorra's two co-princes: the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell, who at that time were François Mitterrand and Joan Martí Alanis respectively.
Article 2 states that Andorra's official language is Catalan, and that its national anthem, flag, and coat of arms are "those which tradition has given it".
It explicitly limits the period of police custody to forty-eight hours, after which the accused must be presented to a court.
The Roman Catholic Church is also accorded an explicit guarantee to be able to function freely and publicly, and to maintain its special relations with the state "in keeping with Andorran tradition".
Articles 16 and 17 recognise Andorrans' rights to participate in peaceful demonstrations, as long as the authorities are notified beforehand, and to associate freely.
This is guaranteed all Andorrans, and moreover, parents have the right to choose what kind of education that their children will have, in keeping with their own religious convictions.
As might be expected, it forbids Andorrans to be deprived of their property without due process, and it also recognises the right to enterprise in the framework of a market economy.
Article 38 allows the State to institute by law forms of "national civic service" in the general interest.
The "public powers'" ability to override these rights is forbidden in some cases, and restricted to changes in government legislation in others.
It does also mention, however, that certain rights may be limited in cases of national emergency, such as those brought about by natural disasters or political upheavals, such as war.
Articles 50 to 71 relate to the structure and function of the General Council of the Valleys, Andorra's legislative body.
Article 105 says that the initiative for constitutional change may come from the co-princes, jointly, or from one-third of the members of the General Council.
