King Abdullah II of Jordan

          King Abdullah II of Jordan is trying to peacefully change from a constitutional monarchy to a democracy. I think he can succeed. King Abdullah II has a different strategy than most of the other Middle East nations to achieve a peaceful transition  to democracy. Most of the other nations have elected a leader that is constrained by the old laws, but King Abdullah's plan is to change the constitution first then elect a ruler. This means that the law changes first then the ruler can use the new law to run a democracy.
