Iceland approves first "crowdsourced" constitution
Over the weekend, voters took to the polls in Iceland to approve a
national referendum calling for a new Constitution to be approved in the
wake of Iceland's financial crisis in 2008. That new Constitution was
drawn up by a special panel of 25 citizens who took suggestions from
Facebook and Twitter to draft the world's first ever "crowd-sourced"
constitution. According to the results - 66% of the nation approved the
new Constitution, which includes reforms such as nationalizing more
resources, giving voters more power to call for their own referendums,
and enacting term limits on the presidential office.
