Constitutions are supposed to provide an enduring structure for
politics. Yet only half live more than nineteen years. Why is it
that some constitutions endure while others do not? In The
Endurance of National Constitutions, Zachary Elkins, Tom Ginsburg,
and James Melton examine the causes of constitutional endurance
from an institutional perspective. Supported by an original set of
cross-national historical data, theirs is the first comprehensive
study of constitutional mortality. They show that whereas
constitutions are imperiled by social and political crises, certain
aspects of a constitution s design can lower the risk of death
substantially. Thus, to the extent that endurance is desirable a
question that the authors also subject to scrutiny the decisions of
founders take on added importance.
