Meanwhile some opposition figures assert they will help develop a drafting process for a new constitution. For a provocative recent paper discussing the disadvantages of group drafting of a constitution (as opposed to individuals or even foreigners), see “Constitutional Design in the Ancient World,” by Lanni and Vermeule, http://ssrn.com/abstract=1747087.
