{"product_id":"what-should-constitutions-do-ellen-frankel-paul-9780521175531","title":"What Should Constitutions Do?","description":"The essays in this volume--written by prominent philosophers, political scientists, and legal scholars--address these questions and explore related issues. Some essays examine the basic purposes of constitutions and their status as fundamental law. Some deal with specific constitutional provisions: they ask, for example, which branches of government should have the authority to conduct foreign policy, or how the judiciary should be organized, or what role a preamble should play in a nation's founding document. Other essays explore questions of constitutional design: they consider the advantages of a federal system of government, or the challenges of designing a constitution for a pluralistic society--or they ask what form of constitution best promotes personal liberty and economic prosperity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Frankel Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521175534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521175531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Ellen Frankel Paul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46431306285311,"sku":"9780521175531","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c60a5a98-484e-4837-a5cb-d1a674bccbee.jpg?v=1735140932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-should-constitutions-do-ellen-frankel-paul-9780521175531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
