First sentence: This chapter sets out, and analyses, the points of conflict between the three major elements  Islamic legalist, secular and democratic  of the 1979 Constitution leaving the question of how and why they became such uncomfortable bedfellows to the next, which takes a close look at the historical and political dynamics that shaped the document.
