Legislative drafting of the preamble to the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq 2005 and its role in achieving good citizenship

Abstract

The Constitution of the Republic of Iraq in 2005 has included an
introduction or a preamble like the rest of the constitutions. And if we look at
the preamble, we find that it has formulated an accurate constitutional and
legislative formulation that tried, by choosing its phrases, to confirm all the
constitutional principles, meanings and ideas. In the forefront of those
principles is the idea of (good citizenship) that crystallized all its elements, its
objectives and pillars through the precise constitutional drafting of the
preamble. Good citizenship and its meanings and ideas emphasize that all
individuals within the state must enjoy rights on an equal footing and abide by
the duties imposed by the laws and legislation of the state.
