In the making processes of ANRSC there was no public participation and consensus creation among different interest groups and politicians. There was no a formal and institutional awareness creation during designation and practicing of ANRS Constitution. The provisions of ANRSC are not part and parcel of the responsible curriculums. Lawyers and researchers were not active participant in developing and practicing the Constitution of ANRS. The people of Amhara didn‟t perceive as that the Constitution of Amhara is not their own rather it is a party document. Finally, the people of ANRS have a great demand for the total/complete revision of FDRE Constitution since it did not address the fundamental interest of them. Moreover, the peoples of Amhara region demand to revise the regional state constitution to make it complete and legitimate.Although the regional state council established the Council of Constitutional Inquiry, it is not active enough to develop and review the Constitution of the region. | en_US |
