Constitutional Amendments: Making, Breaking, and Changing Constitutions is both a roadmap for navigating the intellectual universe of constitutional amendments and a blueprint for building and improving the rules of constitutional change. Drawing from dozens of constitutions in every region of the world, this book blends theory with practice to answer two all-important questions: what is an amendment and how should constitutional designers structure the procedures of constitutional change? The first matters now more than ever. Reformers are exploiting the rules of constitutional amendment, testing the limits of legal constraint, undermining the norms of democratic government, and flouting the constitution as written to create entirely new constitutions that masquerade as ordinary amendments. The second question is central to the performance and endurance of constitutions. Constitutional designers today have virtually no resources to guide them in constructing the rules of amendment, and scholars do not have a clear portrait of the significance of amendment rules in the project of constitutionalism. This book shows that no part of a constitution is more important than the procedures we use change it. Amendment rules open a window into the soul of a constitution, exposing its deepest vulnerabilities and revealing its greatest strengths. The codification of amendment rules often at the end of the text proves that last is not always least.

History comes alive in this illustrated guide to the Constitution and all 27 Amendments. The Constitution has been in the news a lot recently. But most of us could probably use a refresher on this founding document of America--you can probably name the first and second amendments, but what about the 11th, or the 22nd? And what does all of that formal political language actually mean for us today? The U.S. Constitution for Everyone answers these questions and more, like: - How does impeachment work, anyway? - How long is a Senator's term? - What is covered by "freedom of speech"? - What are "emoluments"? - How exactly does a bill become a law? This book makes understanding your rights easy with clear explanations of the complete text of the U.S. Constitution, as well as all 27 Amendments, alongside fascinating historical facts and explanations. A must-read for students, curious citzens, and everyone who'd like to know more about the supreme laws of our nation.

This book blends deep engagement with constitutional theory and close attention to real-life political practice to explore how the choices political actors make in codifying constitutional amendments exert consequences on the operation of the constitution in relation to democracy, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. It answers the following questions: - Should constitutions append amendments sequentially to the end of the text? - Should they embed amendments directly into the existing text, with notations about what has been modified and how? - Should constitutions instead insert amendments into the text without indicating at all that any alteration has occurred? The book examines the 3 major models of amendment codification-the appendative, the integrative, and the invisible models-and also shows how some jurisdictions have innovated alternative forms of amendment codification that combine elements of more than 1 model in a unique hybridisation driven by history, law, and politics. Constitutional designers rarely consider this question of central significance to the operation of constitutions: where in the constitution to codify amendments once they are ratified? This innovative book is the first to explain why the placement of constitutional amendments concerns more than mere aesthetics. It involves how and whether a people remembers its past, how the constitutional text will be interpreted and by whom, and whether the constitution will be easily accessible to the governed. A global tour of the high stakes of constitutional design in every region of the world, this book features 18 contributors across Africa, America, Asia and Oceania, and Europe raising new questions, opening our eyes to new streams of research, and uncovering new possibilities for constitutional design.

For the first time ever, a retired Supreme Court Justice offers a manifesto on how the Constitution needs to change. By the time of his retirement in June 2010, John Paul Stevens had become the second longest serving Justice in the history of the Supreme Court. Now he draws upon his more than three decades on the Court, during which he was involved with many of the defining decisions of the modern era, to offer a book like none other. Six Amendments is an absolutely unprecedented call to arms, detailing six specific ways in which the Constitution should be amended in order to protect our democracy and the safety and wellbeing of American citizens. Written with the same precision and elegance that made Stevens's own Court opinions legendary for their clarity as well as logic, Six Amendments is a remarkable work, both because of its unprecedented nature and, in an age of partisan ferocity, its inarguable common sense.

NEW REVISED EDITION NOW AVAILABLE In the more than 200 years since Americans set up a national government under their Constitution, that government has become a massive Leviathan which would be unrecognizable to the founders. Whether they consider themselves "liberal" or "conservative," most Americans now realize that this vast centralized bureaucratic police state, dominated by remote elites, is not "of the people, by the people, [or] for the people." Timely Renewed: Amendments to Restore the American Constitution examines how this came about, not through the careful amendment process provided in the Constitution itself, but rather by a Supreme Court which has arrogated to itself the power to change the Constitution by a simple five vote majority. Timely Renewed then asks how to repair this damage. Supposedly conservative Supreme Courts and Congresses have both failed to roll back these unconstitutional exercises of federal power. Timely Renewed proposes another solution: specific amendments to the Constitution restating the original understandings for our time. The first of these is an "amendment amendment" which restores to the States the ability to initiate amendments, thereby ending the congressional and judicial monopoly over our founding document. Ten other proposed amendments then seek to restore the original constitutional meanings and allocations of power which have been most abused by our national government in all its branches. Since the original constitutional language has been so abused, the proposed amendments restate and rephrase the original constitutional intentions in a modern context. Whether or not one agrees with all of the proposed amendments, or believes that other amendments are also urgent, Timely Renewed provides critical insight into how our Constitution became so misused, and offers a specific strategy for repairing and restoring it. The Constitution declares that it is by "We, the People." Timely Renewed shows how we, the people, can take back our Constitution.
