  This is a brief report from the AP news syndicate that tells of an exciting experiment happening in Iceland. It puts forth a quick view of the situation that prompted the decision to take action and what we might expect to see come out of it. Rewriting a constitution for a nation is a bold move. One concern is the interpretation of what brought the nation to its heels - if Iceland's economy was hurt, was it due to the existing power structures or what has been happening globally? In other words, how might the new constitution better protect Iceland in the future (and is the concern really just around money?)
