Since the early days of modern Saudi Arabia, King Abdulaziz established key principles, including the use of Shura (consultative) councils as a crucial aspect of his wise governance. Under his rule, the Shura Council was formed, representing a significant move towards institutionalizing governance practices. This marked the beginning of a constitutional framework for the developing state. The constitutional movement began in February 1925 with the first National Council being founded under the speakership of Sheikh Abdul Gadir Al-Shebi.
