Egyptian Constitution of 1964
The Constitution of the United Arab Republic or the Constitution of 1964 was the provisional
President Gamal Abdel Nasser had intended the constitution, which replaced a presidential Constitutional Proclamation of 27 September 1962, to be a "final constitution", but the result ended up being only an "interim document".[1] On 23 March 1964, Nasser published a draft of the constitution and the recently elected new National Assembly approved the document on 25 March.[1] The text was called the Constitution of the United Arab Republic although it only applied to Egypt.[1][nb 1] After the death of Nasser, the Constitution of 1964 was superseded by the permanent Constitution of 1971 adopted under President Anwar Sadat on 11 September 1971.
