Select World Constitutions

by J.C. Johari

Every state has a constitution of its own that must change with the passage of time in order to exist like a living instrument. It should meet the urges and aspirations of a vital and dynamic people. The constitution is a body of written rules supplemented with unwritten usages and practices which determine the organisation and working of the government and define relationship between the rules and the ruled. Hence, the study of the constitutional system of a country in comparison with such a system of other countries has a relevance of its own.

In this book an attempt has been made to cover constitutional systems of some major countries having their place in the syllabi of different universities. However, constitutions of some other countries have also been covered for the benefit of the readers offering this course at the degree and post-graduate level. All themes and topics have been explained and evaluated with the help of latest material. References to standard works have a better and advanced study of this subject. Care has been taken to present the matter in an interesting and easily intelligible manner.
