The Additional Articles of the Constitution of the Republic of China are the revisions and constitutional amendments to the original constitution of the Republic of China to "meet the requisites of the nation" after democratic reforms and adjust to the political status of Taiwan. The Additional Articles are usually attached after the original constitution as a separate document. It also has its own preamble and article ordering different from the original constitution.[1]

The Additional Articles serve as the fundamental law of the present government of the Republic of China on Taiwan since 1991, and were last amended in 2005. The Additional Articles will sunset in the event the Republic of China regains control of the Mainland Area.
