Each of the Member States of the European Union has its own constitution, which not only contains the organizational structure of the state but also includes elements that provide a sense of order and identity to the society at large.

This book addresses whether new definitions of order and coherence that will be coined in European constitutional documents will replace the foundations at a national level and whether something will be lost in this transition.

Useful for European and national lawyers, academics, economists, historians, political scientists and sociologists.

The seventh Europe volume of Constitutions of the World covers Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands; a central European region in which constitutional echoes of the revolutions of 1789, 1830 and 1848, the restoration following the Congress of Vienna and the national independence movements can be found. The scope of the edited source material reaches from the 1789 "Liege declaration on human rights" and the "Declaratie van de Rechten van de Mens en Burger van Holland" from 1795 to the constitutional documents of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (1815- 1830/39) and the Kingdom of Belgium, founded in 1831, and to the "Verfassung des Grossherzogtums Luxemburg" (Constitution of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg) from 1848.
