New Tunisian Constitution

In Tunisia they have managed to come to terms on a new constitution and a new government just 2 years after the fall of the dictator like government of Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali who was overthrown during the early stages of the Arab Spring. He was the first leader to be overthrown during the Arab Spring and it is seen as the start of the other major revolutions that have occurred during the Arab Spring. Only 12 members of the parliament voted against the new constitution while 4 abstained. The majority of the citizens in Tunisia supported the new constitution as well as they took to the streets and celebrated.
