| 520 | |a "In this volume, scholars from different disciplines specializing in different parts of the world provide discussions that exhibit many of the answers that modern constitution-makers have given and are giving to most if not all of the following questions in their varied settings. First, who has the authority to write a constitution or to propose amendments to that constitution? Second, who has the authority to enact a constitution in a way that makes it legitimately authoritative? Third and closely related, should a constitution be difficult to amend, so that it can provide enduring structures, limits, and guides for governing? Fourth, should the constitution be fully written as a single document (even though written amendments can be added)? Fifth and broadest, what sorts of governing institutions should a constitution establish? Sixth, finally, and perhaps most important: what should the purposes of a constitution be? They offer reflections on why particular answers have been adopted and how far they may be judged successful"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
