The Monarchy is the institutional pillar of Morocco. This is what the first article of the Constitution came to emphasize by referring to a legitimacy which has been established for centuries: “Morocco shall have a democratic, social and constitutional Monarchy”.  The motto of the country shall be: GOD, THE COUNTRY, THE KING.   The king is “Amir Al-Muminin", Commander of the Faithful; therefore, he exercises a moral authority over the Islamic community. The justification of these powers is based upon thirteen centuries of history and religion and upon a dynasty which has been on the throne for more than three centuries.
