I think the boundaries are more closely related to physical features instead of ethnic ones. As you can see in the maps, most of the boundaries are because of borders with other countries, mountains, and bodies of water. Yes, there are some ethnic things that tie into the boundaries, but for the most part they have to deal with physical things. For example, the islands right in between the countries of Spain and Morocco are physical and have to with the land aspect and not the culture realm of it.

What type of government: It is a unitary monarchy.

The branches of government:

Legistaive- They have bicameral legislature and it consists of two chambers. Their job is to deal things like budgets and law passing.

Executive- The constitution gives the King power. He makes most of the decisions and appoints the Prime Minister.

Judicial- The highest court is the Supreme Court and the judges are appointed by the King.

There is no tension between the branches and local groups at the moment except the normal issues and complaints from people about the use of power and the choices the King gets to make.

There has been some signs of devolution in morocco as the country begins to have very strict policies on Al-Qaeda. This group has began to form devolution among the central and local government. devolution is the passing of power from the central government down to the local government. They have began to do some devolution actions as Al-Qaeda continues to pose a threat to the country of Morocco.

The nineteenth century European explores played a big role in the change in Morocco’s political boundaries prior to 1850. France showed a major interest in Morocco at the time to be used for colonization. The Napoleonic Wars took up most of the Europeans time to explore Africa, but the wars played a big role when it came to the change in boundaries and influence for the country. In 1884, Spain formed a territory in the coastal areas of Morocco. At the start of the nineteenth century and into 1920, all of Africa was controlled by European powers. This played a big role when it came to the political boundaries and the changes that they went through. The start of World War 1 and the interbellum period also contributed to some of the changes seen in these boundaries seen towards 1947. As the 21st century approached and we began to reach 2011 the political boundaries of Morocco were affected by things such as wars breaking out in Africa and the pop and folk culture of Morocco that affected politics and changed boundaries which are still changing.
