Making of a Constitution

It is no trivial matter to create a constitution. It took six years for the drafting of the American Constitution. And the Americans had the advantage of not having tribal and ethnic issues such as the Iraqis have. Another example of the drafting of a constitution is that of the Indian Constitution. It took the Indians almost four years to draft and adopt the constitution (Of course the process got a little delayed because of partition of India in 1947)

But if you go by the MSM (Main Stream Media)'s pessimism, you would think the Iraqis have failed at drafting their Constitution.
