Syrian Constitution of 1950

The Syrian Constitution of 1950, also known as the "Constitution of Independence," was drafted following a 1950 coup by Sami al-Hinnawi. The new government, under President Hashim al-Atassi, focused on elections and drafting a constitution. The final document which was officially adopted on September 5, 1950, aimed to limit the president's powers while increasing the authority of parliament.
