    About this ebook

    This is Bahrain's second constitution. The first was promulgated in 1973. The constitution says that the religion of the state is Islam and that the language is Arabic. The law of the state is Sharia (Islamic) law. Bahrain is a monarchical state and the throne is passed down generation by generation to the eldest son - unless the King nominates another son.
