The Constitution


The rules for a government, fundamental principles and the rights of the citizens all written down in a legal document called a written constitution. This formal document is supposed to be the rules by which a state is being controlled and the rules settled in order to manage and rule a nation. It is as well the rights protecting the citizens in any political situation.

The first constitution ever recognized was the constitution written in the spring of 1638, three Connecticut towns (Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield) worked on choosing representatives and succeeded holding a general court at Hartford. Later on, at the opening session, Thomas Hooker, expounded a powerful sermon and speech in order to confirm that the “foundation of authority is laid in the free consent of the people.”  Consequently, the three towns’ freemen adopted the constitution, which was the first of all time that later on created a government.

Egypt today is facing a political dilemma; whether to slow down the presidential elections in order to write a new constitution or to rush off to the elections. In my point of view, I think that it’s much better to write a constitution so that we can insure that the upcoming president doesn’t turn the constitution into his personal “book” in order to satisfy his own properties.
