[edit] RFC dispute at Constitution

There is a NPOV dispute going on at Talk:Constitution, there is one editor who has declared himself to be an "expert" and has declared that there are "Principles of Successful Constitutions" without stating explicitly what the principles are, he is trying to write that they must come from Aristotle, Plato, and John Mason or else they "don't count" as successful Constitutions. I responded that this was highly POV and gave a number of counter examples including this one, but by Circular logic, he argues that my examples don't count as "successful" because they didn;t come from Aristotle, Plato, and John Mason, therefore they cannot possibly be regarded as "successful". Please share your comments. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 13:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historical sources

The exact origin of the so called charter should be checked. In the original works of Djibril Tamsir Niane Recherches sur l'Empire du Mali au Moyen Age Recherches africaines . No. 1, janvier 1959. p. 6-56 , no reference made to any tradition of the consitution of Soundiata; may be other oral research has been undertaken since. To be found. Otherwise the article has to be completely redrafted.XavierV 19:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
