I was expecting side-by-side comparisons at first. Then I saw the format and realized it's EVERY constitution. Wow.

It would be educational to highlight and comment on every sentence which is either contradicting another sentence in the same document, or suppressed by some actual law and regulations, or suppressed de-facto by actual actions of the lawmakers, police, army and courts.

My personal impression is that all modern constitutions are very much like bible or similar religious scripture. It has some universal values with many contradictions, and people in charge always bend the rules in their favor.
