Description: Constitution of Freedom : An Introduction to Legal Constitutionalism, Paperback by Sajo´, Andra´s; Uitz, Rena´ta, ISBN 019873218X, ISBN-13 9780198732181, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Constitutional democracy is more fragile and less natural than autocracy. While this may sound surprising to complacent democrats, more and more people find autocracy attractive, because they were never forced to understand or imagine what despotism is. Generations who have lived in stable
democracies with the promise that their enviable world will become the global normal find government rule without constitutionalism difficult to conceive. It is difficult, but never too late, to see ones own constitutional system as something that is fragile, or up for grabs and in need of
constant attention and care. In this book, Andras Sajo and Renata Uitz explore how constitutionalism protects us and how it might be undone by its own means.
Sajo and Uitzs intellectual history of the constitutional ideal is rich in contextual detail and informed by case studies that give an overview of both the theory and practice of constitutionalism worldwide. Classic constitutions are contrasted with twentieth-century and contemporary endeavours,
and experimentations in checks and balances. Their endeavour is neither apologetic (and certainly not celebratory), nor purely defensive: this book demonstrates why constitutionalism should continue to matter. Between the rise of populist, anti-constitutional sentiment and the normalization of the
apparatus of counter-terrorism, it is imperative that the political communities who seek to sustain democracy as freedom understand the importance of constitutionalism. This book is essential reading for students of law and general readers without prior knowledge of the field, as well as those in
politics who believe they know how government works. It shows what is at stake in the debate on constitutionalism.
