Their legal system is based on a combination of French and Ottoman Civil Law. The Islamic law is used in the court system. Also, in the cabinet, the council of ministers is appointed by the president. Unlike the United States, the President has 7 years in term, not 4.

 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; COLOR: #5e5ee4; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace"> The liberalism is a satirical publication, with half cartoons and half articles owned by Syria's most famous cartoonist, Ali Farzat. The first sell out, mocking government corruption, critizing anyone by name. The changes they are referring to are reforms forward to Syria's new leader, Bashar al addad, and incidentally one of Ali's biggest fans. Over the past few months, the president has issued dozen of rulings to help fix the economy. He released 600 political prisoners, and tolerated growing calls for politcal freedom. Authorites have effectively suspended private political meetings, which were held for cutting edge debate. The ruling Baath party has launched a counter campaign, seeking to renew its ranks even as it celebrated its 38th year. Some called it a cold shower for the "Damascus Spring", but many weren't suprised. The pro-democraxy movement obviously crossed some red lines. Parliament has authorized a judicial inquiry against an outspekn independant politician.
 * <span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; COLOR: #5e5ee4; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace"> According to cia.gov, none of these predictions from this article ever came true. The limited liberalism never came a big idea. It was prtty much just introduced and left as it was. Also, many more leaders have become into play to try and make Syria better.
