The Syrian Provisional Constitution of 1961 was adopted following the 1961 coup and Syria's seccession from the United Arab Republic. Consisting of only eight articles, the provisional constitution sought to temporarily organise the political system in Syria until the adoption a permanent constitution by the Constituent and Parliamentary Assembly. The Provisional Constitution is the first constitutional document to adopt the Syrian Arab Republic as Syria's official name instead of the Syrian Republic, the pre-1958 name.
