Egyptian constitution

Egypt is one of the most important countries in the Middle East. That is why it has to be a powerful country with powerful law controlled by constitution. After the revolution the Egyptian people wanted to change the constitution because everything has been changed by the new government. In these days the supreme council of the armed forces control of the country and its political affairs. Article 63 in the constitution proclaims that the old constitution works in the transitional period until a new one is created. This article has paved the way for the parliamentary elections and the presidential elections. Also the new parliament will form a committee to write a new constitution. In the old constitution there were a lot of articles about ‘freedom’ of religion, believes, expression and pres in the reality these articles weren’t applied. This is one of the most examples that the old regime didn’t respect the constitution. That’s why the old constitution should be erased and a new one created. From my opinion, that the new constitution should be written before the presidential elections, so that the new president would not have the slightest control over the constitution and the law . So that the disaster that happened for the last 30 years would not repeat itself. A new constitution with rightful laws will give to the new generations the hope and rights they need to continue their lives.
