Democratic Export & Constitutional Conflicts
The Iraqi Constitution is all very well but it amounts to diddley squat. –
Even in America people exist without being in thought of residing under, cohabiting with or being governed by their constitution. Being an individualist society is one thing but at a constitutional disadvantage to others, as is across the freedoms. This shows the gap between societal philosophy in relation to clear constitutional tenets and the problem of time catching up with the foundation wisdom and equity.
It often takes the supreme court to sit and listen and mull at great expense and time to throw out an appeal or uphold an appeal as in the case of {The People Vs Larry Flint} [based on the clearly written age old constitutional right to freedom of expression] which included smut.

A such, stable set up would allow for negative things to slow down so that humanity could be free to think and consider the direction of its endeavours. Such as preparing for climate change, survival, and most importantly avoiding an unnecessary population reduction by expanding into space and on our other planetoids, now before it becomes much too difficult.
A Long-term view is of an enormous success with an increased population overall with the Earth Healing under a plan of atmospheric tuning and a population max average worked out. It may sound like an impossibly expensive fantasy but so was Britain’s railway.
We have all the technology we need to get started. All we need is agreement for a cohesive platform to work with at best or just be in groups with the will and the idea because there are thousands of Brunel’s and Rubik’s and Edison’s for the Vladimir Armstrong Quing Meiji Ganeshasan Grissom spirit to Thrive.]
For an economic model to have some permanent stability it needs to be capable of Neutral Growth Sustainability.
