was initially led by General Ne Win, who ruled the country with brutality since 1962. In 1974, the government forced people to approve a new constitution for establishing a one-party (Burma Socialist Program Party or BSPP) government with 415 members. General Ne Win changed the name of the country to the Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma.
