Constitutionalism and democracy have been interpreted as both
intimately related and intrinsically opposed. On the one hand
constitutions are said to set out the rules of the democratic game,
on the other as constraining the power of the demos and their
representatives to rule themselves - including by reforming the
very processes of democracy itself. Meanwhile, constitutionalists
themselves differ on how far any constitution derives its authority
from, and should itself be subject to democratic endorsement and
interpretation. They also dispute whether constitutions should
refer solely to democratic processes, or also define and limit
democratic goals. Each of these positions produces a different view
of judicial review, the content and advisability of a Bill of
Rights and the nature of constitutional politics. These differences
are not simply academic positions, but are reflected in the
different types of constitutional democracy found in the United
States, continental Europe, Britain and many commonwealth
countries. The selected essays explore these issues from the
perspectives of law, philosophy and political science. A detailed
and informative introduction sets them in the context of
contemporary debates about constitutionalism.
