Constitution of Egypt in the context of Emergency law in Egypt

King of Egypt and the Sudan (Arabic: ملك مصر والسودان Malik Miṣr was-Sūdān) was the title used by the Egyptian monarch from 16 October 1951 until the abolition of the monarchy on 18 June 1953. It was replaced by the President of Egypt.

In 1951, the Egyptian Parliament amended the Constitution by Law 176 of 16 October 1951 to provide that the title of the King should be "King of Egypt and the Sudan" instead of "King of Egypt, Sovereign of Nubia, Sudan, Kordofan, and Darfur". This move came in the wake of Wafdist Prime Minister Nahhas Pasha's decision to unilaterally abrogate the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936. The change in King Farouk I's title was intended to further Egypt's claims over the Sudan, which had been an Anglo-Egyptian condominium since 1899.

While parliament is bicameral, it has two parts: an upper house, the Senate and the lower house is the House of Representatives.

The Parliament is located in New Capital, Egypt's capital. Under the country's 2014 constitution, as the legislative branch of the Egyptian state, the Parliament enacted laws, approved the general policy of the State, the general plan for economic and social development and the general budget of the State, supervised the work of the government, and had the power to vote to impeach the President of the Republic, or replace the government and its Prime Minister by a vote of no-confidence.

The Constitution of Egypt has passed over a long period of evolution from the liberal constitution of 1923 to the contemporary constitution.

The House of Representatives is the lower house of Egypt's bicameral parliament, with the Egyptian Senate serving as the upper house. Together, the House and Senate have the authority under the Article 101 in Chapter Five of the Egyptian Constitution in enumerated matters to pass or defeat government legislation, approve the general policy of the state, the general plan for economic and social development, and the state’s general budget, and exercise oversight over the actions of the executive authority, all as outlined in the constitution.

Members of the House serve a fixed term of five years, with each seat up for election before the start of the next Congress. Special elections may also occur in the case of a vacancy. The House of Representatives consists of at least 450 members elected by direct, secret, universal suffrage, with voting supervised by members of the judiciary. In addition, the President of the Republic appoints a number of members not exceeding 5%.
