Part One (Part I) of the Fundamental Statute of the Kingdom of Albania is the first of ten parts.[1] This chapter is named general provisions, and includes six parts.[1]
Text[edit]
The text of the preamble has been translated as follows:
Part I.—General Provisions.
Art. 1. Albania is a democratic, parliamentary and hereditary monarchy.
2. Albania is independent and indivisible, its integrity inviolable, and its territory inalienable.
3. The Albanian flag is red, with a double-headed black eagle in the centre.
4. The official language of the State is Albanian.
5. The Albanian State has no official religion. All religions and creeds are respected, and freedom of worship and religious observances is guaranteed. Religion cannot in any way constitute a legal defence. Religions and creeds shall in no way whatsoever be used for political purposes.
6. The capital of Albania is Tirana.[2]
Legacy[edit]
Many of the provisions of Part I of the 1928 Fundamental Statute are repeated in the current Constitution of Albania. Article 3 is now Article 14.2, Article 4 is now Article 14.1, and Article 6 is now Article 14.6.
However, other provisions have been directly overturned by the current Constitution. For example, the current Constitution establishes that Albania is a parliamentary republic, and guarantees the right to express religion publicly.
