Success within a constitutional convention is acquired through compromise, yet, at the same time through being able to stand firm in one's beliefs. These extremes are cause for inconveniences that confront a young government. The United States, Iraq, and Borka have all either been faced with or are being faced with such inconveniences. Key issues that have affected or now affect Borka, Iraq, and the US include opposing opinions as to what the government and the laws should address, the difficult and unfamiliar transition that comes with the establishing of a new government, and the financial problems an undeveloped nation is forced to cope with. Borka, Iraq, and the US have been challenged, or are now being challenged by these complications. .
Clashing views on what is wanted and what the government should do is a primary concern to a developing government. Varying interests, wants, and needs can be problematic in the decision making process of a constitutional convention. Division of power has caused or is now causing problems in Borka, Iraq, and the United States. It is an excellent example of how different views can provoke a dilemma. In Borka, the Dudas make up over half of the population with an estimated 800,000 people in its tribe. As a result, they believe they rightfully deserve more power in the Borkan government. Similarly in Iraq, Shi"as add up to 60% of the population and therefore they believe that they should have more say in the future Iraqi government. Already, the Iraqi National Congress is primarily controlled by Shi"as where they are also the majority (13 out of 25 members in the INC are Shi"a). The United States overcame this same crisis over 200 years ago. Larger states with larger populations had plans for a national legislature where the representatives were chosen in relationship to state population. The smaller, less populated states argued that this was inequitable.
