  • Summary

    This chapter reviews the Lebanese constitution of 1926 and examines how the confessional provisions were inserted during the French mandate (1920-1943). It shows that confessional articles were drafted by the Lebanese drafters of the constitution to preserve communal identities and to stave off communal strife. The chapter further investigates the implications of this constitution with it quotas and confessional formula insofar as it was ill-equipped to adjust to demographic changes over time.
