Other primary sources include diary accounts, sermon manuscripts, receipts of sale, and field accounts.
King and the People in Morocco, 1950-1959 - Morocco’s strategic location has shaped its history. After gaining independence in 1956, Morocco made great strides toward economic and political liberalization. Sultan Muhammad V, ruling his newly independent nation, proclaimed his intention of turning it into a constitutional monarchy. His first act was to transform himself into a monarch and assume the title of king. The Moroccan government undertook several economic, social, and political reforms, including the drafting of a constitution.
