The political transition of a nation hinges significantly on the intricacies of its constitution and the regulations governing the constituent assembly that creates it. Essential considerations include the relationship between the legislature, executive, and judiciary, as most constitutions delineate these roles. In Egypt, the interaction between civilian governance and military authority further complicates this framework, highlighting the necessity of carefully defined constitutional provisions.

Moreover, modern nation-states have established numerous institutions, which have only emerged in the last century, aimed at managing economic and social affairs and addressing income distribution issues. Niall Ferguson, in his book "The Great Degeneration: How Institutions Decay and Economies Die," emphasizes that the efficacy and oversight of these institutions are crucial for a thriving society, emphasizing the importance of a well-structured political and institutional framework.
