1. Article 370 (1949/1950)
Article 370 was included in the Indian Constitution in 1949 (and came into effect in 1950) to provide a special autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, allowing it to have its own constitution and flag.

2. Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir (1956)
The Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir was formally adopted on November 17, 1956, and came into full effect on January 26, 1957. This document defined the state's relationship with the Union of India.

3. Re-designation of Sadar-i-Riyasat (1965)
The Constitution of J&K (Sixth Amendment) Act, 1965, was passed, which re-designated the Sadar-i-Riyasat (Head of State) as the Governor and the Wazir-e-Azam (Prime Minister) as the Chief Minister.

4. J&K Reorganisation Act (2019)
The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act was passed by Parliament in August 2019. It led to the transition of the state into two separate Union Territories: Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, and coincided with the effective abrogation of Article 370.
