The retired teacher, who was shopping in Baghdad's central district of Karradah, criticized the document that she said will divide Iraq.

"Thank God few Iraqis have electricity to watch the nonsense. What kind of a constitution they are trying to draft?" asked Dawoud, a Shia. Echoing the position of Sunni constitutional negotiators, she said federalism would fragment Iraq.

"It appears that they are writing it for themselves to fulfill their desires and not the aspirations of the Iraqi people."
