Book Title: What Should Constitutions Do? (Social Philosophy and Policy) Book Author: Ellen Frankel Paul (Editor), Fred D. Miller Jr (Editor), Jeffrey Paul (Editor) Series: Social Philosophy and Policy (Book 28) Paperback: 354 pages Publisher: Cambridge University Press (January 31, 2011) Language: English ISBN-10: 0521175534 ISBN-13: 978-0521289610 Book Description Publication Date: January 31, 2011 The essays in this volume - written by prominent philosophers, political scientists and legal scholars - address 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.
