Syrian Constitution of 1930

The Syrian Constitution of 1930, drafted by a committee under Ibrahim Hananu, was promulgated by "arrêté" No. 3111 of High Commissioner Ponsot. It was the founding constitution of the First Syrian Republic under the French Mandate.
On 25 March 1943, three "arrêtés" (Nos. 144, 146 & 154/FC) restored the constitution after it had been suspended in 1939 and provisionally regulated the organization of the executive and legislative powers, appointing different persons to exercise them pending elections which eventually took place on 10 and 26 July of the same year.
After the Syrian Republic's independence, the Constitution of 1930 was revised on the 20 March 1948:
Changes were made to Article 68, which granted the President of the Republic the possibility of being re-elected; to Articles 85 and 86, which regulated the procedure and the date of the elections; to Article 89, which determined the number of Ministers; and to Articles 71 and 115, which indicated the procedure for the election of the President of the Republic.
The constitution was replaced by the Syrian Constitution of 1950.
