The Eyala of Algiers has been in a preliminary and fundamental phase since 1659, when the leaders of the sea and the Diwan of Soldiers rejected the pasha system.  This has prompted the Ottoman Caliphate to pledge non interference in Algeria, by submitting a royal proclamation proclaiming the Sublime Porte's abstention to send a governor to Algeria, saying, "We will not send you a governor, pledge allegiance to whomever you wish." As a result, the Janissaries office at the Eyala raced to pick Khalil Agha (1659-1660) as the reigning authority's representative. The latter attempted to implement new procedures for the Agha's authority, while Ramadan Agha (1660-1661) attempted to implement a system for the distribution of marine spoils and prizes for regular troops in order to raise their income level and regulate their movements. Those who succeeded in reigning after Ramadan Agha experienced assassinations and internal turmoil during their reigns. Which caused the navy leaders to descend on the scene and participate in the fall of Ali Agha in 1671.

   When the Aghas' control was destroyed, a new age began: the rule of the midwives. The latter was first defined by power, but its star quickly began to fade. The rulers who governed in recent times were primarily distinguished by weakness and ineptitude.

   As a result, the killing of female midwives, such as Mustafa Pasha in 1805, Dey Ahmed in 1809, Dey Muhammad in 1814, and Dey Omar Agha in 1817, became common. Many of them lasted only a few months, and as the money from maritime activity became limited, the rulers began imposing unfair taxes on the public, resulting in the occurrence of a series of revolutions in response to government policy, and among the most notable revolutions we mention:

• Cherif Ben Ahrach Revolution:

   He is Mohamed ben Abdellah ben Al-Ahrash, who, after completing the Hajj pilgrimage, participated in the French war against Egypt in 1798 and took part in its resistance. This has given him enormous glory, as many Almoravids joined him, including Sidi Abdellah Al-Dhaboushi. He, as well as his disciples moved to Constantine and were besieged for a whole day. When Othman Bey learned about the event, he launched a military expedition and went in pursuit of Cherif Ahrash.  When the Bey Othman left from Constantine, he had seized everything from the city's vaults. It was then that the central government in Algeria learned of the Dey Othman's death and dispersal of his soldiers. After ten months of persecution and battles, Dey Mustafa Pasha named Abdellah ben Ismail as bey over Constantine and tasked him to search down Ben Alhrash. Instead of ending his rebellion and joining the Dergawa group in Algeria's west, he fought alongside Ben Sharif "Abdelkader al-Dargawi" in battles against the Turks and stayed with him until the Bey managed to murder him.

•  Ben Charif Revolution:

   He is Abdelkader Ben Cherif, known as Ibn al-Dargawi. Received his education from the Kaytina Zawiya in Mascara, following the Kadiri way. Afterwards, ibn al-Dargawi traveled to Zawiya Boubrih in Morocco, where he got in touch with Moulay Abdellah Bin Mohamed al-Dargawi. 

   When ibn Charif came back to his homeland, he began planning a revolution to overthrow central ruling, and declared war on El Makhzen and the Turks, shedding their blood and taking their money. He also authorized his followers to loot money from the Turks and El Makhzan. Moreover, French consul, "Pierre Duval", began to contemplate how to deliver weapons to these rebels.

   When Dey Mustafa learned of this, he assembled an army and traveled to Ibn Charif, where the two armies met between Oued Mina and Wadi Eid. Clashes erupted between the two camps, resulting in the loss of Dey Mustafa and the dispersal of his army, forcing him to flee back to Oran. Ibn Charif gathered more supporters and besieged Oran for 8 months. However, due to insufficient equipment, he was unable to storm it and was forced to flee to the Bani Baznas tribe on the Moroccan border, where he remained until his death.

   Algeria's political system was characterized mostly by democratic characteristics and tactics. There are prerequisites that must be satisfied by the leader in order for them to be elected. The general criteria for selecting and electing the governor of the region to pledge loyalty to the special court are his understanding of Islamic law. In addition to their understanding of Algerian customs and Ottoman structures, on which they depend to achieve a balance of all forces. We may draw several criteria that characterize it from this:

Sufficiency and know-how: To be qualified for this role, brave, chivalrous, thoughtful, and well-maneuvered.

Be politically educated:  Meaning, the candidate must know about people’s conditions, and management

Ready to make adjudication between people: Judging and adjudicating people’s affairs and conflicts

Being Reasonable:  Good governance, wide horizon, and keeping distance from minor offenses.

   Usually, not all rulers meet these requirements. Some sought the support of Makhzen tribes and local families in order to gain power in their homelands and communities. Securing revenue, regulating public resources, and connecting provinces, especially homelands and rural areas, to urban development.

   During this period, government institutions and councils underwent modifications. Its purpose is administrative and political stability, as well as the provision of funds for renewable military and civilian expenses. It was reflected in the advancement and specialization of vocations, as well as the continuation of the Janissary recruiting movement and the rise of urbanization.
