Law of Albania

Other laws are passed by the unicameral parliament, Kuvendi, and implemented by the Albanian government.

Upon Albania's liberation and the proclamation of the interim post-war government by the communists, all previous laws were made null and void, King Zog was barred from ever returning to the country and was dethroned, and elections were held that led to the establishment of the People's Republic of Albania.

Laws during the communist regime were nominally established by the People's Parliament (Kuvendi Popullor), and the Constitution guaranteed citizens some rights but made them subordinate to the greater goals of party unity and socialist revolution.

The party's grip on power was enforced by the Sigurimi, Albania's notorious secret police of the time.

This tumultuous period of Albanian history saw widespread civil unrest spurred on by the collapse of several pyramid schemes that had gripped the country, in large part due to the failures of government bodies to properly regulate them.
