    About this ebook

    This work presents the Constitution of Algeria, which was first adopted by a referendum in 1963, following the Algerian War of Independence. Having fought for freedom and democracy, the Algerian people, by this Constitution, decided to create constitutional institutions on the basis of participation of any Algerian in the management of public matters and on the ability to attain social justice, equality, and freedom for all.
