Constitutional problematics, circa 1787 / Jack N. Rakove -- Inventing constitutional traditions: the poverty of fatalism / James Johnson -- The birth logic of a democratic constitution / Lawrence G. Sager -- Constitutional democracy as a two-stage game / Jonathan Riley -- Imagining another madisonian republic / Jonathan Riley -- One and three: separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary in the Italian constitution / Pasquale Pasquino -- A political theory of federalism / Jenna Bednar, et al. -- Designing an amendment process / Sanford Levinson -- Constitutional theory transformed / Stephen M. Griffin -- Constitutional economic transition / Russell Hardin -- Institutionalizing constitutional interpretation / Jack Knight.

This 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.
