<p>The Articles of Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar of 1964 is the main foundation of the Constitutions of the United Republic of <a href="/facts/Tanzania/MJueJ7E4">Tanzania</a> of 1977 and the <a href="/facts/Zanzibar/Nj7CFq9B">Zanzibar</a> Revolutionary Government of 1984. The Articles of the Union were signed on April 22, 1964, by the Founders of the Union, <a href="/facts/Julius_Nyerere/FPaIFfJ1">Julius Nyerere</a> and <a href="/facts/Abeid_Amani_Karume/hdKHxRdz">Abeid Amani Karume</a> and agreed in 11 matters which later increased to over 22 and are the source of tension and dispute between mainland Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar. See <a href="/facts/Uamsho/PDzs05Wn">Uamsho</a> movement. The original Articles of Union which contain both Signatures from Nyerere and Karume are yet to be found. </p>
