The Syrian Provisional Constitution of 1961 was adopted following the 1961 coup and Syria's seccession from the United Arab Republic.[1] Consisting of only eight articles, the provisional constitution sought to temporarily organise the political system in Syria until the adoption a permanent constitution by the Constituent and Legislative Assembly.[2] The Provisional Constitution is the first constitutional document to adopt the Syrian Arab Republic as Syria's offical name instead of the Syrian Republic, the pre-1958 name.
