This paper, through socio-historical analysis, aims to analyze the relationship of Albanians with after the declaration of independence. This period is characterized by numerous political changes experiencing revolutions, kingdom and, communism. Albania has always been under foreign rule and has not been able to develop a political individuality in the direction of state leadership. This paper raises the main thesis that exactly this continuation of the deprivation of the individuals by the high political power elite continued in the communist period, which seems to be the main cause of the lack of development of a political individual that understands the duties and responsibilities pertaining to lawmakers.
