Inaccuracies in the History Section[edit]

The following sentence in the article has a few inaccuracies: "a new Egyptian Constitution was promulgated in April 1923 by a 30-member legislative committee that included representatives of political parties, as well as national movement leaders."

(1) The constitution was promulgated by the King and not by a Committee. (2) There was indeed a 30-member committee that worked on preparing a draft constitution. I am not sure if it can be called "legislative committee" because it had no power to legislate as it did not promulgate the constitution (point (1) above). The Committee was called the Committee on the Constitution (translated from arabic لجنة الدستور) (3)The Committee did not include representative of political parties as one of them the Liberal Constitutional Party, to which most of the 30-members committee adhered, was founded only at the end of November 1922, while the Committee was created on 30 April 1922. Also the committee did not include members of the Wafd, the leading political movement at the time, which refused to join. While the Committee included thinkers, men of the law, scientists, religious officials, moderate politicians, landowners, merchants and financiers, the drafting of the constituion was in fact a very controversial exercise.

I will edit the article to a more correct version and reference my text.SuperAnalyser (talk) 00:37, 7 January 2022 (UTC) SuperAnalyser (talk) 00:35, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
