Presentation A constitutional text is by definition an evolutionary one. In other words, it can be modified qualitatively and quantitatively according to the evolution of society and the new social and political realities. Any constitution provides for the conditions of its revision in its articles. In Morocco, the king, the House of Representatives and the House of Counsellors have the right to initiate a revision of the Constitution. The King has the right to submit, directly for referendum, the revision project he may initiate. A proposal for revision submitted by one or more members of one of the two Houses shall be adopted only if voted on by a two -third majority of the members of the House concerned. (Articles 103 and 104 of the 1996 constitution). Since its independence in 1956, Morocco has had five constitutions promulgated respectively in 1962, 1970, 1972, 1992 and 1996. In addition to these five different constitutional texts, Morocco revised  two of its constitutional texts namely those of 1972 and 1992. These are the constitutional revisions of 1980 and 1995. All Moroccan constitutions institute the regime of a democratic, social and constitutional Monarchy, stipulating in their preamble that the Kingdom of Morocco is an Islamic state whose official language is Arabic. Many elements have been introduced during the constitutional revision of September 13, 1996. The following are some of the major innovations: -  Establishment of a bicameral system through the setting up of a second House enjoying the same deliberative powers of the House of Representatives. - Election of all members of the House of Representatives by direct universal suffrage. - Reintroduction of the constitutional development plans. - Consecration of regions as a district councils. - Constitutional consecration of the right of private property and free enterprise. - Recognition of human rights as they are universally recognised.
