The modern Egyptian state, along with the concepts, institutions, and modern administrative apparatus that come with it, is the product of Muhammad Ali Pasha’s dynasty, who ruled Egypt from the 19th to mid-20th century. During his rule, the Egyptian state was reshuffled and modernized to model a modern state, giving rise to Egypt’s first constitutional experience. Following a broad examination of the evolution of constitutional texts in Egypt, this paper examines the potential directions of the ongoing political and constitutional debates and controversies following Egypt’s revolution. Aliwa analyzes the key issues entailed in this debate, including the relationship between religion and state; the role of the Sharia as a source of legislation, as well as its effect on freedom; personal and family status law; the role of women; education; ethics; and the organization and regulation of religious institutions.
