Comparative Constitutional Law Documents

Comparative Constitutional Law Documents offers a curated collection of constitutions and foundational legislative texts from five Western democracies: the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. In addition, it includes the full text of the European Convention on Human Rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the Treaty on European Union, as well as selected provisions from the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and key Protocols to the EU Treaties.

All documents are presented either in their original, authoritative English versions or in carefully edited translations. These translations aim to preserve the distinctive legal language and style of each system, ensuring fidelity to the source while enhancing accessibility.

This volume enables students and interested readers to explore the constitutional frameworks of major Western legal systems and to appreciate their characteristics in direct comparison. It serves as an ideal companion for courses in comparative constitutional law taught in English.

Now in its third edition, the compilation has been thoroughly reviewed and updated to reflect recent amendments and legislative developments.
