| Abstract | ||
| The research deals with the nature of the political and constitutional institutions in Morocco whichare known to be as the essence of the political system in it. Political system in Morocco was represented inthe one party before independence in 1934 with the emergence of national action party. Then it has been working with partyplurality after independence in 1962, as the first Moroccan constitution considered one-party system as illegal.Also Morocco witnessed the first legislative elections in 1963;therefore Morocco knew party plurality, the constitution, and the parliament since more than half century. But its political system suffered froma serious problem that is the process of devolution of power, because it is not mentionedin the Constitution who handles the authority but it is left to the King who selects the Prime Minister according to his point of view and not according to the elections. In addition the Moroccan political system accuses the Royal Institution of manipulating with the election results, either through material support and media for some parties,or work to oust parties that are against the Royal Institution. Also the Constitution issued in 1996 to make the ministry responsible to the king not to parliament, and that the process of coincided alteration which took place after 1998 was not a constitutionaltext but only a political initiative. | ||
