The Constitution was set up in 1962, and it was updated to meet the king, King Mohamed VI, needs. The constitution was made to establish basic civil rights like being able to move anywhere in the country, freedom of expression, and to able to belong to a political group of your choice. The constitution also states that men and woman have the same political rights as each other. Even though the constitution has these rules, they don't always practiced in real life. Morocco has seen some improvement is things like freedom of speech in the past few years.
