When was the Constitution of the State of Kuwait—the first comprehensive written constitution among the Arab states of the Gulf—promulgated by Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. November 11, 1962

  1. Step 1: The Constitution of the State of Kuwait was formally signed and promulgated by Amir Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah on November 11, 1962.
  2. Step 2: Drafted by an elected Constituent Assembly, the 183-article document established Kuwait as a constitutional, hereditary monarchy with an elected parliament (National Assembly), affirming civil liberties, equality before the law, and separation of powers.
  3. Step 3: It remains the foundation of Kuwait's vibrant parliamentary democracy.
Answer
November 11, 1962.
Why not the others: 'June 19, 1961' is the date of independence; 'January 23, 1963' was the date of the first National Assembly parliamentary elections; 'October 24, 1975' is an unrelated date.
