Summary:A distinguished international team of legal theorists examines the issue of constitutionalism and poses such foundational questions as: Why have a constitution? How do we know what the constitution of a country really is? How should a constitution be interpreted? Why should one generation feel bound by the constitution of an earlier one? The volume will be of particular importance to those in philosophy, law, political science, and international relations who are interested in whether and what kinds of constitutions should be adopted in countries without them and who are involved in debates about constitutional interpretation.
