My country name is Morocco. The government type in my country is a constitional democracy. The protests in Morocco began in February of 2011. The people of Rabat and Casablanca started the protests. The people were protesting King Mohammed VI to give up some of his very wide-ranged power of the country and people. The government responded to this by accepting the changes proposed by giving up his divine rights as sovereign and forced him to nominate a prime minister from the largest party in the parliament. The result of the protests was the king remains ultimate authority in Morocco, but has lost some powers.

King Mohammed VI is the king of Morocco. His history of leading Morocco has consisted of many things. In 1999 King Hassanll was succeeded by his son (now the current leader on Morocco) Mohammed VI. He has had to deal with many important events in his 15 years of being king. A couple examples would be, in 2003 forty people in Morocco were killed in a suicide bombing. In 2004 the free trade agreement with the US came into effect. The last example of major events that have occurred in Morocco in the last 15 years is in 2014. The king was protested in the cities of Rabat and other cities in Morocco. He was forced to give up some of his wide-ranged power over the country. He is currently still the ultimate authority in Morocco and has elected a prime minister from the dominate party of the parliament.
