From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The October Yusin (Hangul: 10월 유신, Hanja: 10月 維新), also known as October Restoration, October Revitalization, or the October Revitializing Reforms, refers to the amendment of the Constitution on October 1972. The new Constitution called the Yusin Constitution allowed the president to dissolve the National Assembly, nominate a justice of the Supreme Court, and it even permitted the re-election of the president for a limitless number of six-year terms. A indirect election was adopted with the amendment. In effect, the Yusin Constitution converted Park Chung-hee's presidency into a legal dictatorship. Park was re-elected in 1972 and 1978 with no opposition. The new administration under Yushin Constitution is now called Yushin Regime (유신체제, 維新體制) or Yushin Dictatorship (유신독재, 維新獨裁).
