ABSTRACT
The evolution of the Moroccan political system has depended on the ability of political actors who search for real answers to questions posed by the broader society. One of the most urgent questions this system has faced is whether political reform requires constitutional reform. Demands for amendment of the constitution may not necessarily lead to political reform. Constitutional amendments could be implemented without really changing the structure of existing political institutions or power relations within the state. We therefore find ourselves facing a fundamental question: what is the objective of constitutional reform? Is it just a revision of institutional prerogatives, such as expanding the powers of the prime minister or the parliament, or is it a radical reconsideration of the nature of the relationships among a state's political actors?
