Egypt has operated under various charter, both monarchy and after 1952 as a republic. The first and most liberal of these was the 1923 constitution, which was publicizer UK declared Egypt's independence. Now the politics of Egypt is formed on republicanism with a semi Presidential government. The present political system was established after the Egyptian revolution in 2011 by the resigning of president Hosni Mubarak. The parliament of Egypt is aged legislative in the middle east and Africa. In the current system of the government, the president is elected for six years and It is universal as well compulsory for every citizen of Egypt over the of 18. Even in the failure of the could result in fine or imprisonment but still many of the eligible do not vote. President is able to appoint 5% of the parliament moreover he has the power to dissolve parliament through article 137. The system of the government reflects a combination of the prime minister and presidential system. The president with the head of the state is also recognized commander in chief of armed forces. After the revolution of 2011 with resignation of president Hosni Mubarak the inherited power, corruption, and unfairness were mostly controlled, through free and fair elections of government with answerable to the citizens.

Government effective control over the territory of the state-

Egypt maintains one of the largest and strongest military forces in the region with its three- fourth military army. The army is equipped with a large number of state-of-the-art main battle tanks and other armored equipment. The air force has several high-performance aircraft and has a fleet composed mostly of coastal patrol crafts and includes destroyers, submarines, and frigates. The most important is that the state in its region had its own military-industrial complex. The officer corps play has played a prominent tradition like a le in politics as a part of the process with Israel in which the United States had helped the country with a huge amount of military aid. There is number of intelligence security forces one of them is Central security forces (CSF) plays an effective role to control territory and internal security of the state.

Human rights are generally respected –

The Egyptian constitution proclaims about human rights in his constitution under various articles of chapter 3 to be a democratic state with Islam religion. It recognizes private and public ownerships guarantees the equality of all Egyptians before the and their protection against arbitrary intervention by the state in the legal process. The country is also signed many treaties of human rights including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights.

Security of the people-

According to based on my answers to questions one and three, the Egyptian revolution of 2011 seems significant in making the security of the people more superior. It focuses on revolution to grow out the factors specifically on the concept of poverty, unequal income distribution, and youth unemployment. And as mentioned, the constitution of Egypt guarantees the human rights. Hence, in my opinion, the country is democratic with the religion of Islam people will have less issues from other ethnic groups and as result, the same ideology will be fruitful for the people and as well as for state.
