On 2 December 1971, the emirates of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Fujairah, Umm Al-Quwain and Ajman came together and adopted a temporary constitution. That day marked the independence of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the formation of the UAE as a sovereign nation. On 10 February 1972, Ras Al Khaimah joined the federation. In 1996, the Constitution was made permanent (the UAE Constitution).
Articles 120, 121 and 122 set out the matters that fall within the legislative and executive jurisdiction of the federal government and those that fall within the jurisdiction of member emirates.
