Egypt 2014 Egyptian Constitution
دستور مصر 2014
Summary
New Egyptian constitution adopted by referendum on 2014-01-14/15 with 98.1% approval (38.6% turnout). Replaced the 2012 Morsi-era constitution, restored military prerogatives (10-year shield for the defense minister position), banned religious political parties, and confirmed Egypt as a civil-state framework.
Impact
Codified the post-coup political order: military veto on civilian government, Brotherhood exclusion, and a presidential system that allowed Sisi to consolidate power. The Mostaqbal Watan rise and the consolidation of the security state both proceeded under this constitutional frame.
