Constitution
As part of a long-planned process and occurring after the massive adoption of the National Charter, the Algerian Constitution will be submitted on November 19, 1976 for the approval of the people by way of referendum.
President Houari Boumediène wrote in the magazine of the National Mujahideen Organization on the occasion of the 22nd anniversary of the outbreak of the War of National Liberation: “We are on the eve of great radical transformations where revolutionary legitimacy will be crowned by constitutional legitimacy and where organic complementarity between State and Revolution will be achieved. As activists, it is our duty to our people to fully grasp the meaning of their enthusiasm for the National Charter and to translate into reality the hopes they have in this document.
If the National Charter is the ideological instrument of the Socialist Revolution in Algeria, the Constitution is one of the vectors necessary for the realization of the first. Fundamental law of the Republic, the draft Constitution grants numerous articles to fundamental freedoms and human and citizen rights and sets out a set of rules which will henceforth govern relations between the State and citizens.
As in the National Charter, the National Liberation Front Party is called upon to intervene closely in the conduct of the nation's affairs, as demanded by the people as a whole. Studied in an overall process, going from the centuries-old resistance of the Algerian people to the immediate present of Algeria, the Constitution appears as the logical result of a multifaceted action. Like many other achievements, the fundamental law of the Republic should be considered as a major step, a new victory in the long struggle of the Algerian people for their liberation, to which the next profound changes will contribute, such as the election of the President of the Republic by direct universal suffrage and the establishment of the National People's Assembly.
