Duplicitous Constitutions

Unlike Western tradition, beginning with the Magna Carta in the MiddleAgess, Constitutions were made to protect the rights of citizens from tyranny and to limit the authority of rulers so that they could not abuse their rule.In the Arab and Islamic world, constitutions are announced with big bombast almost every new ruler (most of them take the helm undemocratically), as their blueprint for their regime; but not only they are replaced by new ones by every new ruler; but they are not respected even during the tenure of the ruler who suggested them.Thus, Constitutions there are necessarily duplicitous. A sample of a civil constitution and of a religious one are cited to exemplify the problem.
