Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The Constitution of 1861, issued under Muhammad al-Sadiq Bey
- Step 1: The 1861 constitution limited the bey's power and set up a Grand Council. Step 2. Compare each option with this fact and discard those that conflict with it. Answer: The Constitution of 1861, issued under Muhammad al-Sadiq Bey. Why not the others: The Fundamental Pact of 1857, The Personal Status Code of 1956 and The Constitution of 1959 do not fit the fact above; they describe different things or do not match the question.
