现代民族国家政治层面的建构进程就是主权在民、宪法至上以及政治多元等政治理念从思想化、文本化和标签化逐渐走向现实化、实践化和本质化的过程。自由主义时代的埃及在政治层面上看似混乱无序,却包含着新的社会经济内容,孕育着新的政治秩序。从现代民族国家和政治现代化的视角来看,自由主义时代埃及的政治层面经历了从殖民统治到主权独立的初步实现、从传统封建制度到宪法政治的确立、从君主专制到多元政治的初步实践三个阶段的政治建构进程。宪政实践为埃及现代民族国家的建构进程留下了宝贵的遗产——民主、自由、宪法、议会、政党等诸多现代政治理念和宪政实践经验。因此,自由主义时代作为埃及现代民族国家建构过程中不可或缺的重要一环,亦构成埃及政治从君主专制向共和政体转变的过渡阶段。
