TFTD: In some states, the executive is charged with the responsibility of upholding, safeguarding and preserving the constitution, as the constitution is the thing to which all citizens subscribe, and is the focus of their belief and loyalty, rather than the person of the ruler. There are few such states, but they tend to prosper and progress.
In other states, the constituions are manipulated to safeguard and preserve the executive, usually in the form of the rulers themselves, as they see themselves as the deserving focus of the citizens' loyalty and devotion. Such states tend to be unstable and short-lived, and suffer from sectarianism and factional struggles.
