China

Article 35 of the PRC constitution guarantees freedom of speech, the press, assembly, association, procession and demonstration

Article 28 on the other hand undermines all freedoms and protections in the name of both national security and requiring all actions to uphold the socialist state

Article 1 affirms the leadership of the party and Article 28 allows for any offense to the party to be interpreted as a constitutional offense

Hence once the party began leveraging that interpretation as soon as people wouldn't drop a challenge and wanted accountability and answers, like after 1988, all facets of life began being controlled and controllable arbitrarily

Many countries are vulnerable to a conflicting constitution
