Myanmar's Constitution: Born to Fail?

In this interesting op-ed, Arnold Corso suggests that the answer to the question in the title is "yes." The Myanmar constitution--17 years in the making--was produced in a behind-the-scences process with no public participation. It is fairly inflexible as well. Although it has a good deal of detail which we find to be associated with enduring constitutions, Corso predicts that on balance it was born to fail.
