The constitutional drafting process was rushed, without the input of liberals, non-Muslims, and women, all of whom boycotted the process, owing to the preponderance of Islamists. The Muslim Brotherhood, and primarily President Mohamed Morsi, is banking on the assumption that the strength of Egypt’s Islamist vote will earn him enough support among “regular Egyptians,” and that the opposition will have little impact on the referendum’s outcome.
整个宪法起草过程很是仓促，这一切都归因于伊斯兰教徒的绝对优势，因为他们人数众多。起草过程没有自由主义者、穆斯林及妇女的参与，但同时他们也联合抵制了这一过程。穆斯林兄弟会及首席主席默罕默德﹒莫尔西则指望着埃及伊斯兰教徒的投票可以使他在“平常的埃及人”中赢得更多的支持。同时，反对派也会对公投结果产生些许影响。
