Democratic Revolution or Coup D’etat: Government of Fan Noli in Albania

The aim of this paper is to study closely the political developments of June 1924 in Albania to bring convincing facts, that the priest Fan Noli, did not come to power in a democratic way as formulated in the text of the History of State and Law in Albania, but with a coup d’etat, which interrupted the democratic and institutional processes that began with the establishment of all powers of the rule of law by the National Assembly of Lushnja in January 1920. The descriptive and comparative method was used in this study to understand the evolution of institutional culture since the founding of the state. The historical method of well-known sociologists and political scientists, Max Weber, David Easton, and Norberto Bobbio, it was worth looking at the political system as a set of institutions and political processes, in mutual interdependence, arising from free democratic elections. The study hypothesis is confirmed through the analysis of historical variables provided by archival sources and publications and memoirs of serious authors, domestic as well as foreign. The study results bring to the conclusion that the history of political institutions must be written with scientific objectivity, according to the Latin maxim, history is the teacher of Leibniz's life and method, that the present is full of the past, and charged with the future.
