chosen instead to rewrite their constitution. and the common denominator is that they were born out of the profound crisis. of the constitutions government are continue their period of arbitrary carrying government have been tremendously interesting because they have incorporated democratic elements didn't exist and that reflected popular demands in the main but it doesn't necessarily have to be a traumatic event says mrs pinet. amid a social and economic crisis iceland decided to form a constitutional assembly in 2010 it's considered the most modern example of citizens participation in resetting the country's fundamental road map for the future. globalization and technological advances have shed light on issues and needs that were not considered by societies in the past. the us constitution 2nd

amendment for example giving citizens the right to bear arms was conceived to allow americans to fight back against a tyrannical federal government a far cry from its current implementation constitutional experts say that the healthiest way for a country to ensure that its fundamental social contract is up to date is the submitted to periodical revisions as does germany among others it's a way of recognizing that society is telling and that no. i think it's written in stone. i don't have the worst thing that can happen is the text of the constitution does not reflect the will of the people the constitution needs to be respected because people believe in it the more often it's revised the less dramatic the better. the majority of chileans have lost respect for a constitution that was conceived and written under a dictatorship 20 years ago perhaps the biggest danger now is the expectation that

a new one will have the ability to solve the immediate and social economic needs of the present. you see in human al-jazeera santiago. the u.s. justice department is taking legal action against google google's accused of abusing its market dominance the lawsuit says the company pays billions of dollars to phone manufacturers to ensure that google is the default search engine for browsers this the justice department says stifles competition larry magid is c.e.o. and co-founder of connect safely dot org which advocates for online privacy and security he explained google's defense. i think one argument that they might make is to go back to 2000 i'm sorry go back in 1998 when microsoft with on the hot seat for very similar charges and i remember specifically bill gates speaking of congress saying you know some other company could come along and unseat us and indeed that very year a to graduate students from stanford were in

a garage here in palo alto building google which actually did overshadow microsoft when it came to the internet so i suspect that's the argument they'll make and i think that the common argument will be made that google controlled the entire android platform it dominate search and it promotes its own products and it makes it difficult for other companies to compete either with search or with internet advertising there's a lot of both a legal and a political war going on between washington and silicon valley but this is a very specific lawsuit issued by the justice department claiming google is exercising monopoly power over search and over internet advertising so there is probably by far partisan support for this battle i mean the trump administration has their gripes against google but so do democrats so i suspect this will be vigorously prosecuted and even if joe biden were to win the election i wouldn't be surprised if his justice department continued the suit place and power go i have
