We discuss the problem of non abelian constrained systems and the origin of appearance of non abelian algebras. We show that it is possible, in principle, to change a non abelian system to an abelian one, at least locally. Our method is based on solutions of the differential equations due to the algebra of first class constraints. We suggest that multiplicative constraints should be regularized at each step of calculation. Some examples on SO(3) and SO(4) algebras are discussed. We show that they can be replaced by abelian constraints.
