The Story of Constitutions by Wim Voermans
Wim Voermans traces the surprising story of constitutions since the agricultural revolution of c.10,000 B.C. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, Voermans shows how human evolution, human nature and the history of thought have all played their part in shaping modern constitutions, and how, in turn, constitutions have shaped our societies.
'A grand masterpiece that teaches as much as it inspires, this outstanding book enriches our understanding of the origins and evolution of constitutions and opens new research streams that will guide scholars for years to comeThis magisterial work catapults Voermans to the Mount Rushmore of modern constitutional studies.' Richard Albert, The University of Texas at Austin
