Background Information

DESCRIPTION

The Egyptian Revolution led to significant political changes, including the resignation of President Mubarak and the takeover by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. It resulted in the dissolution of Parliament and the suspension of the constitution, followed by a constitutional referendum. Egypt's political structure is characterized as a republic, with a President elected for two six-year terms and a legislature comprising the People’s Assembly and the Consultative Council. The judiciary operates independently, and the Supreme Constitutional Court holds the highest judicial authority, reinforcing the role of military influence in governance and foreign relations.
