Since Mohammed bin Thani acknowledged Qatar's separate status in a treaty with the British in 1868, the House of Thani has ruled the country as a hereditary monarchy. Following Ottoman rule, Qatar turned into an English protectorate in the early twentieth hundred years until acquiring independence in 1971.Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is the current emir. According to Qatar's Constitution, he controls the judiciary and holds nearly all executive and legislative power. The prime minister and cabinet are appointed by him.
