Constitutionalism: Philosophical FoundationsLarry Alexander Cambridge University Press, 2001 M02 26 - 319 páginas A distinguished international team of legal theorists examine the issue of constitutionalism and pose such foundational questions as Why have a constitution?

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 interested in whether and what kinds of constitutions should be adopted in countries without them, and involved in debates about constitutional interpretation. |
