Summary/Abstract: The structure of EU has been constantly changing since its establishment. European Union had successfully finished economic integration which was its first and main aim. Then by the time it began to welcome new members, which would cause difficulties in its institutions and decision making processes. EU is preparing to the new century by changing its complex structure by preparing a new constitution. In this article, European Constitution is examined throughout its sui generis structure and the modifications within the institutions. The Author in the article discusses the new functions and authorities of the institutions and the out comings. He also argued about Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), voluntary withdrawal from the Union and suspension of certain rights resulting from Union membership. In addition he also touches upon the adjustments made about the decision making process which causes chaos in the Union, and discusses the expectations about the European constitution in the future.
