Constitutional Culture and Democratic Rule(ISBN=9780521793704) 下载 极速 rtf epub 在线 word txt pdf

　　This 2001 volume investigates the nature of constitutional

democratic government in the United States and elsewhere. The

editors introduce a basic conceptual framework which the

contributors clarify and develop in eleven essays organized into

three separate sections. The first section deals with

constitutional founding and the founders' use of cultural symbols

and traditions to facilitate acceptance of a new regime. The second

discusses alternative constitutional structures and their effects

on political outcomes. The third focuses on processes of

constitutional change and on why founders might choose to make

formal amendments relatively difficult or easy to achieve. The book

is distinctive because it provides comprehensive tools for

analyzing and comparing different forms of constitutional

democracy. These tools are discussed in ways that will be of

interest to students and readers in political science, law, history

and political philosophy.

书籍介绍

This interdisciplinary volume focuses on constitutional democracy, with special reference to the United States. The editors and contributors conceive of a constitutionalism as an ongoing process in which most members of a given community rely on certain cultural norms and practices to identify and interpret constitutional rules (written or unwritten as the case may be) that limit government power, and divide it among competing groups of leaders such that no single group has unchecked authority to pass statutes or to interpret the constitution when disputes arise.
