Abstract
This thesis examines the question: will the 2005 Iraqi Constitution be an effective document for Iraq going forward? To answer this question the necessary parts of a constitution for a deeply divided country are identified creating a rubric with which the 2005 Iraqi Constitution is then analyzed against. This rubric includes the structure and powers of the government, the protections for individuals and the framework of the document. Ultimately, the Constitution’s efficacy is determined in light of both the internal and external factors that continue to threaten its success.
