There is no one to hold them back

A debate regarding a change of the constitution has revealed two great ideas in the university.

One, says that a change in charter is the solution to the political crises in the country.The other, says that the charter is best not modified at this time because of the motives behind it.

There an appeal from the former that we transcend beyond personalities. Clearly stating that no personality at present has an influence in the modification of the charter. It is bereft of reality and too narrow. It also tells us not to have bias and prejudice that, indeed, its proponents is using it to advance their own interest.

The latter is rewarded with a comprehensive look at the situation. It holds that the personalities behind are systematically manipulating what it should become. That, through the content of the three proposals (People's Initiative, Constituent Assembly, Constitutional Convention), these "prejudices" are proved.

The compounding facts regarding the interests of these personalities did not exist by themselves and do not have their own motives.

More so, that these amendments are not in any way neutral-it serves interests. Basic analysis (if we go more than just basic, our doubts would be disproved), tells us that these amendments must trace back to its proponent-who they are.

It DIRECTLY benefits them, and (probably) benefits the people only after a million twists and turn (nothing in essence).

Students of social sciences must not merely rely on their reason. Insights of political events without a comprehensive knowledge of the facts behind makes us subjective. It is the hallmark of an unprincipled bias, the one which is evident in you now. We cannot be loose shotguns because we might have our own people to aim. Raise your political consciousness and be true servants of the people.
