Abstract
This article analyzes how the Moroccan Constitution distributes administrative powers among the constitutional authorities and defines the bodies that make up the active and consultative administration. In a first part, the author studies the allocation of administrative competences between the legislative and regulatory (executive) powers, showing — through the case law of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court — that the current constitution broadened the regulatory domain regarding public institutions, local authorities, public service, and the civil service, while the legislature retains essential matters such as fundamental guarantees for civil servants. A second part identifies the administrative authorities proper: national authorities centered on the Prime Minister and government members, local authorities, and consultative higher councils. The author further discusses the King's constitutional powers, which the case law treats as non-administrative given his religious and political authority. The study illuminates the constitutional status and limits of Moroccan administrative action.
