President Mohammed Morsi has congratulated Egyptians for endorsing a new constitution and called on them to work for stability and security.
In a televised address to the nation, Mr Morsi said the constitution had passed in a referendum that was “totally transparent”.
Some 63% backed the constitution in the controversial referendum.
Opponents say the document is too Islamist and betrays the revolution that overthrew Hosni Mubarak.
Mr Morsi said the constitution had been chosen by the people “with their own free will” in a referendum that was “totally transparent and supervised by the judiciary and monitored by NGOs”.
He said he accepted the rights of those who opposed the constitution but also condemned those who he said had resorted to violence.
Mr Morsi admitted mistakes had been made but insisted he would never make a decision except in the interests of the country.
