In 2017, people in Turkey voted on a referendum that would change the constitution. This referendum was about changing the way the government works. It would give the president more powers, so the president would be able to make more choices about what happens in Turkey without needing other people to agree. The president would be able to choose some of the people in the government, too. It would also change the way the courts work, so the president could choose certain people who would make decisions about trials in the courts. In the end, the people who voted said yes to the referendum, which means that the president got the new powers he wanted.
