Paperback. 12,50 / 19,50 cm. in Turkish. 352 p. Yasada, anayasanin cebir yolu ile degistirilmesi sarti vardir. Ama anayasayi degistirme eylemi siyasal iktidardan geliyorsa, baska cebir yolu aramaya gerek yoktur. Ceza Yasasinin korudugu, Anayasa'nin sadece biçimsel kurallari degil, siyasal ve ideolojik karakteridir. Bu karakterin degistirilmesi, anayasayi ihlal suçudur. Bu degisikligin devlet kuvvetlerini kullanarak yapilmasi, suç kastinin saptanmasi için ayrica bir hukuksal degere sahiptir. (''Anayasayi Ihlal Suçu'', Cumhuriyet, 12 Mart 1971) Anayasa, devletin temel ideolojik felsefesini yansitir. Her anayasa, yeni bir devlet anlayisi getirir. Toplumun içinde yasadigi sosyal düzen, çesitli yollarla degistirilebilir. Anayasalar, bu degisikligin yöntemlerini saptar. Sosyal düzen anayasanin öngördügü yollardan degisirse, Anayasal kurumlar köklü biçimde yerlesirler. Siyasal iktidarlar, anayasanin uygulanmasi için çalismaktadirlar. Anayasanin sosyal temelleri ile hukuksal temelleri arasindaki çekismeyi göremeyenler, ne bu Anayasa'yi, ne de baska bir anayasayi uygulayabilirler. ("Kisir Döngü" 19 Temmuz 1971, Ortam) Ugur Mumcu
