The Lebanese Constitution was adopted in 1926 and serves as the fundamental legal framework for the Republic of Lebanon. It outlines the structure of government, the rights of citizens, and the principles of governance, emphasizing the importance of democracy and civil liberties. One notable feature of the constitution is its confessional system, which allocates political power among various religious groups. This system aims to maintain a balance among the diverse communities in Lebanon, including Maronites, Sunni Muslims, and Shia Muslims, ensuring representation and participation in the political process.
