The Endless Road Towards Freedom

 When depicting a prodigious debate like the one at hand we must first define the key words in this reflexion. On one side, we have the constitution which is a collection of a set of rules ,law, and principals that must be obeyed and followed firmly, in reverence to their restrictions and guidelines ,by the Egyptian people and which upon any breach of conduct puts an individual in a position of censure or condemnation. The purpose of this  concept is to create harmony, equality , justice and order in the community. On the other hand, we have the President, a political figure who assembles the leadership and governance of a certain country or region.


Evidentially, the first constitution recorded in history was elaborated by Wethersfiled,Windsor ,and Hartford , all located in Connecticut. This phenomena was created in 1638 and entitled 'Fundamental Orders'.

In Egypt, in the fall 2011, an unforgettable event that shall remain forever engraved in the mind of each Egyptian citizen was withheld. An uprising, that has come to be known as the 25of January revolution, which was a surrealist illustration of the people’s rage against diverse forms of oppression and repression they have been enduring for far too long. In consequence, the former President Mubarak was driven out of power and Egypt found itself without a ruler.Currently, we are on the verge of a clean beginning as we approach the constitution rectifications and the first proper president election in 30 years. Nevertheless, an important question was transfigured to the surface, who should come first, establishment of the constitution or election of the president?

Frankly, it is a matter of perspective which many people might have come to differ upon. Should we rapidly choose a leader to slavish the country from this obscure path or should we learn from our mistakes and inaugurate a strict set of laws to delimit the authority of the President?

Personally, I think Presidential designation should be the priority at hand. To elaborate, I would like to underline the substantial fact that up till now , Egypt is undergoing a transgression period , which has so been progressively worsening   ; chaos, absence of police, riots, murders, thefts , car abduction , kidnaps and many other phenomena’s   have infiltrated and propagated in our society over the past few month. However, the law currently exists as it always has; the only variance is that it needs a strict hand to apply it! That is my I presume that electing a President should be our first step towards liberation and democracy. In fact, do you truly believe  that the new leader will be injudicious and unwise to the extent of committing the imprudent mistake of disobeying or deceiving a country that has been through a striving war this past year?  

On the contrary, rationally, he shall benignly assure that the Egyptian people are pleased with him at first, consequently a few months later the constitution will be re-established and the president will have to act in deference to the verdicts and restrictions of the law.

In conclusion, by selecting an appropriate and trustworthy candidate we shall ensure the application of the law that shall be renovated once the elections are over.
