Abstract:	After the Icelandic experience of constitutional crowdsourcing (2009-2012), members of the state's legal community, parliamentarians and policymakers affirmed that the constitutional draft was unrealistic, unenforceable and against the legal and political tradition of the Nordic country. On the other hand, other legal expertise argued that the main institutions of the state, political parties and the economic and intellectual elite betrayed the will of the people and provoked the failure of the first constitutional crowdsourced experience. This paper analyses this constitutional experience, the reasons of its failure and whether can be a model to be followed by post-colonial constitutional experiences in Africa.
