Constitutional recognition of rights and freedoms in France in the late nineteenth century

Sergey Bochkarev

Adam Mickiewicz University Law Review > 2015 > 5 > 235-242

The article deals with the ideological and theoretical foundations of the French constitutionalism of the Third Republic. The author notes that the Constitution of the Third Republic was a result of the continuous struggle between the supporters of the republican form of government and monarchists in the National Assembly. A compromise, reached by legislators in 1875, led to the uniting of different...

Constitutionnalisme français. Expérience de la troisième république

Sergey Bochkarev

Adam Mickiewicz University Law Review > 2013 > 2 > 227-234

The aim of the article is to discuss the prominent features of French constitutionalism that were formed in the last quarter of the 19th century. The author underlines the particular importance of the constitutional experience of France and notes that the form of government and the several political institutions established with the proclamation of the Third Republic also exist in general terms at...

Beyond “unwinding”: Constitutional review strategies in consociations

Andras Gal

Nations and Nationalism > 26 > 3 > 594 - 610

This article contributes to the emerging literature on the role of constitutional courts in consociational democracies. While most works have approached the topic from the perspective of regime dynamics, this analysis focuses on how courts relate to the constitutions they are mandated to enforce. Beyond addressing the empirical question of what choices courts make in their balancing between universal...

Nazionale e liberale, il costituzionalismo del Risorgimento italiano [Narodowy i liberalny. Konstytucjonalizm włoskiego Risorgimento]

Maurizio Griffo

Fabrica Litterarum Polono-Italica > 2020 > 2 > 85-93

Włoskie Risorgimento, czyli proces historyczny, który doprowadził do zjednoczenia i niezależności Włoch, charakteryzuje się ciągłym sprzężeniem zasady narodowej z żądaniem instytucji wolności. Autor artykułu rekonstruuje ten proces na podstawie przełomowych momentów (wskazuje na trzy kluczowe zdarzenia), koncentrując się na fazie po 1848 roku, kiedy tylko Królestwo Sardynii utrzymało konstytucję,...

Kilka uwag na temat powstawania i charakteru konstytucyjnych ustrojów prawnopolitycznych byłego Trzeciego Świata

Artur Ławniczak

Przegląd Prawa i Administracji > 2020 > 120 > Tom 1 > 187 - 201

Sformalizowany konstytucjonalizm ogarnął prawie cały glob, a zatem także państwa byłego Trzeciego Świata. Weszły one na drogę wymoszczoną przez twórców Ustawy Zasadniczej USA. Najpierw wkroczyły na nią latynoamerykańskie państwowości oraz będąca „afrykańską kopią” Stanów Zjednoczonych Liberia. Następnie do tego grona dołączyły zdekolonizowane państwa Czarnego Lądu, Azja wraz z Chinami i Indiami oraz...

Modern democracy as an element of constitutionalism and its shift from the procedural to material aspects

Ihor Zabokrytskyy

The Lawyer Quarterly > 2020 > 10 > 2 > 188-202

Modern Democracy (alongside with the Rule of Law and human rights) is usually considered as the part of constitutionalism. However, traditional understanding of democracy is usually focused on procedural aspects (as the form of election of people’s representatives and special procedures for decision-making that ensure majority rule with the implementation of minorities’ interests). The proposed paper...

KONSTYTUCJONALIZM A ROZUMIENIE PRAWA

Dobrochna Minich

Roczniki Administracji i Prawa > 2019 > 2 > XIX > 35-48

Konstytucjonalizm to nurt intelektualny, który narodził się w epoce Oświecenia. Pierwsze pisane konstytucje dały podstawę dla jego ukształtowania. Wartość normatywna ustawy zasadniczej wynika z jej nadrzędności w systemie prawa. To konstytucja określa system ustrojowy, podział władzy oraz prawa podstawowe. Te ostatnie wyznaczają zasadnicze wartości, które przesądzają o zmianie paradygmatu prawa.

Constitutionalized Prerogative and the Pardon Power

Roger P. Abshire

Presidential Studies Quarterly > 49 > 4 > 750 - 769

Scholars continue to debate whether Lockean prerogative is better understood as operating within the constitutional framework, as constitutionalists would argue, or outside of it, as the extraconstitutionalists would argue. However, this debate has largely taken place in the abstract, with few concrete examples of prerogative brought to bear in the analysis. In this article, I utilize the presidential...

A Public Law View of the New Generation of FTAs

David Haljan

Netherlands International Law Review > 2019 > 66 > 2 > 237-270

This article intends to consider what the new generation of FITs might signify for our understanding of public law. Rather than modelling international public law or questioning its legitimacy derived from national public law (or one independently generated), I want to focus on a ‘public law’ thread running through all of this. The analysis here traces the transliteration of investment protection...

W poszukiwaniu władzy stabilizującej porządek konstytucyjny (część II)

Michał Bożek

Przegląd Sejmowy > 2019 > 2(151) > 7–38

In modern constitutionalism, the systemic stabilization is represented in its two aspects. It is the primary systemic value of the constitutional order as a whole, guaranteeing the realisation of other values. In this context, it is most often understood as constitutionality and efficiency of the constitutional order. Systemic stabilization may also be regarded as a separate legal sphere of the state’s...

#RepealedThe8th: Translating Travesty, Global Conversation, and the Irish Abortion Referendum

Ruth Fletcher

Feminist Legal Studies > 2018 > 26 > 3 > 233-259

Why does #RepealedThe8th matter for feminist legal studies? The answers seem obvious in one sense. Feminism has long constituted itself through the struggle for sexual and reproductive justice, and Irish feminism has contributed a significant ‘legal win’ with the landslide vote of approval for lifting abortion restrictions in the referendum on the 25th May 2018. That win comes at a global moment when...

George Mason and the Ambiguity of Executive Power

JORDAN T. CASH

Presidential Studies Quarterly > 48 > 4 > 741 - 767

In studies of how the Founders viewed executive power, little has been said about George Mason despite his involvement in creating two executives: the Virginia governorship and the American presidency. This article examines how George Mason defined and arranged executive power during his forays into constitution making. I find that Mason presents a unique understanding of how executive power should...

Abschied von der Ordnung. Zur Ideengeschichte des Verfassungsdenkens angesichts ihrer schwindenden Normativität

Verena Frick

Politische Vierteljahresschrift > 2019 > 60 > 1 > 21-43

Dieser Beitrag rekonstruiert in ideengeschichtlicher Absicht die großen Linien des politikwissenschaftlichen Verfassungsdenkens in der Bundesrepublik. Einer institutionentheoretischen Perspektive folgend, wird die Entwicklung des Verfassungsdenkens in Politikwissenschaft und Staatsrechtslehre im Spannungsfeld zweier konstitutioneller Wirkungsebenen dargestellt, und zwar der Ordnungs- sowie der Orientierungsebene...

NORMATYWNY WYMIAR BRYTYJSKIEJ KONSTYTUCJI

Tomasz Wieciech

Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny > 2012 > 74 > 2 > 19-32

Brak konstytucji w formie ustawy zasadniczej nie oznacza, że ustrój brytyjski nie przybiera formy rządów konstytucyjnych. Zasadniczy postulat konstytucjonalizmu, jakim jest wyeliminowanie arbitralności władzy przez poddanie jej niezależnym od piastunów władzy normom, realizowany jest w Wielkiej Brytanii przez konwenanse konstytucyjne, będące normami konstytucyjnymi o charakterze pozaprawnym, niemożliwymi...

Voicing suffering and commitment of the intellectual

Sam Adelman, Abdul Paliwala

Jindal Global Law Review > 2018 > 9 > 2 > 315-325

How can we explain the complexities of Upendra Baxi’s lifework? He is committed to activism yet is attached to complex theorising; he is committed to the Global South yet has a deep engagement with Northern thinking; he makes a trenchant critique of human rights and law while asserting the importance of human rights and the rule of law; he is committed to human social justice while asserting the importance...

Reading Upendra Baxi as a guide to the study Indian constitutionalism: a comment

Matthew John

Jindal Global Law Review > 2018 > 9 > 2 > 327-333

This short comment is an attempt to zero in on the prodigious work of Professor Upendra Baxi, to locate him as a scholar of the material and contextual constitution. Having done so, it attempts to illustrate the power of the material constitution through my work and interests in Indian constitutional practice. Broadly, it plots a rough and idiosyncratic outline of the imprint of Baxi’s work on the...

Making Referendums Safe for Democracy: A Call for More and Better Deliberation

Simone Chambers

Swiss Political Science Review > 24 > 3 > 305 - 311

In this essay I argue that when thinking about the design of referendums we should pay particular attention to the quality, substance, and inclusiveness of the debate and deliberation that precedes the vote. This is especially true for constitutional referendums that affect fundamental laws. I suggest that drawing out the procedure over time and including citizens’ mini‐publics might be helpful additions...

2. BOOTSTRAPPING, SELF‐BINDING, AND OTHER METAPHORS OF ANTIFOUNDATIONALISM

WARREN BRECKMAN

History and Theory > 57 > 3 > 413 - 418

In Images of History, Richard Eldridge deploys the metaphor of “bootstrapping” to describe the possibility of a mutually constitutive interaction of historical understanding and reflection on political ideals outside of and beyond the notion of a completed theory or teleological development. Although “bootstrapping” does considerable work in the book, it remains relatively unthematized in itself....

Modern Constitutional Legitimacy and Political Theology: Schmitt, Peterson and Blumenberg

Nathan Gibbs

Law and Critique > 2019 > 30 > 1 > 67-89

In this article, an important set of general themes will be examined in relation to the ongoing problematization of the legitimacy of modern constitutionalism within a body of work that largely draws on Carl Schmitt’s political theology. In particular, however, the themes discussed in this article will focus on the later, post-war stages of his work contained in the brief, but dense volume entitled,...

Constitutional political economy, democratic theory and institutional design

Georg Vanberg

Public Choice > 2018 > 177 > 3-4 > 199-216

Democracy and constitutionalism are both central to the Western political tradition. And yet, constitutional restrictions are often perceived to be in tension with democratic commitments. I argue that the constitutional political economy approach developed by Nobel Laureate James Buchanan resolves the tension between constitutionalism and the values of democratic governance by shifting the analysis...
