CAIRO – Violence broke out between police and protesters Tuesday outside the presidential palace as part of escalating a crisis over the nation's new constitution and the future shape of the Egyptian state almost two years after the toppling of former despot Hosni Mubarak.
Thousands gathered for a final "warning" to President Mohammed Morsi, who self-issued a constitutional decree in November that opponents saw as a power grab but supporters viewed as vital to ensuring the path to stable democracy.
