A number of European countries, as well as the United States, Canada and Australia in the second half of the 20th century, received many immigrants from Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic region. This has created a specific situation which did not exist at the time of the formation of these states. At a time when those states were formed the vast majority of the population belong to the Christian political culture. As a result, secular constitutions were created. Because Christian theology can accept the secular principle of organization of the state .Immigrants have brought their cultural and political model. For example, an Islamic political model excludes secularism and demand theocracy. Thus, if the question of eventual transformation of the constitution is posed autochthon population and Muslims can not make a compromise, if each side insists on its model. This means that the multicultural constitution is impossible.
