Writing Constitutions intends to serve as a manual for those writing constitutions or interested in their design. It is the first coherent, systematic and universal approach to capture concept and content of a modern constitution. Constitutional Principles as outlined in Volume III reflect the underlying philosophy and identity of a nation. They include core concepts such as the rule of law, democracy and electoral systems, the social, cultural and the ecological constitution, flanked by constitutional designs for apreamble,an international framework, the popular referendum and a territorial division. The comparative, step-by-step approach empowers judges, lawyers, civil rights activists, legislators and academics to draft and interpret the major constitutional principles.
Writing Constitutions comes in three volumes:
- Volume I: Institutions
- Volume II: Fundamental Rights
- Volume III: Constitutional Principles
