Here it is tricky because there are lies (nums) and lies (verb). However, “permanent” is a word that refers to something that you keep / all the time do. Therefore, the appropriate form is “due to constant lies”. (Yes, “due to constant lies” would be even more beautiful, obsolete but probably just).

But: frequent/diversa Lies would also be correct. Then the lies (history) would be meant and not the lies (count). Here, too, it would be more beautiful: “due to frequent/diversal lies”.

I hope it’s not quite that far yet, but it seems to be on the way to this, especially if only a nom comes, e.g. termination due to own needs(s)

Both variants can be correct, depending on the context. The difference lies in the declination of the adjective and the grammatical function of the word “Lügen”.

1. Because of constant lies

Right when “leighing” asPlural of Lie(Substantive) is understood.

Example: Because of constant lies of politicians, confidence was shaken.

This refers to ‘actual’Plural Substantive“Lügen”, which is why the adjectiveGenitiv Pluraldeclining:permanent.

Two. Because of constant lies

Right when “leighing” asverbalsubstantive(the lies, the action of lies) is understood.

Example: Because of constant lies, he lost his job.

This refers to ‘continuous’Substantive in the Singular(the lie), which is why the adjective inGenitiv Singular retrumdeclining:constant.

Conclusion

  • “For constant lies”: Plural refers to concrete lies (Plural of “the lie”).
  • “Because of constant lies”: Singular, refers to the general action of lies.
  • The context decides what form is correct.

Genitive (lt. Duden still recommended):
Because of constant lies

Dativ is interlocutory, but no longer quite wrong:
Because of constant lies

Yes, the genitive always follows “because”.

I don’t know.

Because of (his) constant lies……

Because of (his) constant lies….

Because of constant lies…

… he was excluded from the club.

I find all 3 variants in order.
