Shah Reza Pahlavi was a brutal dictator, but his departure did not mean Iran was more free. The Shah was pro-west, and would brutally crack down on any dissent. He was replaced by Ayatollah Khomeini, who helped to install a religous dictatorship in Iran. Everything that the Shah had stood for --- including the western world --- was now seen with open contempt by the government.
The court had declined new deal measures for the Great Depression.
The countries that was not greatly impacted by the "Arab Spring" were as follows:
Saudi Arabia
Oman
Palestine
lebanon
Algeria
And many more.
The idea was to have two house legislature that would choose a President and supreme court justices
That the nation will be reborn as one free nation.
hope this helps
