THE CONCEPT OF CONSTITUTION IN THE HISTORY OF P...

The aim of the present volume is to discuss the notion of constitution from the perspectives of
history of political thought. Its scholarly intention is to go beyond the approach
concentrating on the formal understanding of constitution and bring forward more complex
historical and philosophic-political interpretations. Our point of departure was the need to
revive the somehow neglected distinction between the idea of constitution as an act of
conscious law-giving activity and the notion of constitution conceived as the set of
fundamental political rules derived from the very nature of political regime and its historical
development.
