Morocco Moroccan Constitution of 2011
دستور المغرب 2011
Summary
New Moroccan constitution adopted by referendum on 2011-07-01 in response to the February 20 Movement protests. Nominally devolved some powers to the Prime Minister (now to be chosen from the largest party) and the parliament. Recognized Berber/Amazigh as an official language.
Impact
Defused Moroccan Arab Spring without altering the king's primary executive authority — the king retains command of the armed forces, foreign policy, and religious authority. PJD won the subsequent election; the cycle of constitutional reform-without-real-devolution continued through 2021.
