The government of Saudi Arabia is not founded on a constitution or Bill of Rights. The country is now run by royal family members and Wahhabi clerics, a religious establishment.
The Wahhabi clerics are conservative muslims who are inspired by Mohammed ben Abdelwahhab, an 18th century cleric who advocated a strict respect of Islam in its historical form. The Al Saud family conquered the land now known as Saudi Arabia in the name of God and the Quran.
