摘要：The Law of The Constitution of Johore is the first written constitution in Malaya which is introduced in 1895. This research is a qualitative one that uses content analysis approach. The original and unedited text of the Johor State Constitution is used as a primary research data, in which its contents will be analysed and correlated with historical data’s of pre and post-legislation of the constitution. Based on previous research, the constitution document functions as a proof and fortification of Johor's sovereignty, thus it helps in deflecting the colonial influences over Johor. The constitution has also becoming a platform to protect the name and rank of the sultan as well as providing a legitimate family tree for the purpose of transferring inheritance and leadership of the Johor Sultanate. This constitution is created a response to the recent social situation [in Johor State and in Malaysia] and it becomes a symbol of the current Malay civilisation in the modern era. Finally, it also serves as a model for the Malaya Constitution as it is known and recognised as the first written constitution in Malaya.
