A HISTORY OF MODERN POLITICAL CONSTITUTIONS

C.F. STRONG A History of Modern Political Constitutions This book was written to meet a need felt by many setting out for the first time on the study of constitutional politics as a specialised branch of historical studies – the need of a suitable introductory text book. It was my business and pleasure, during several years, to help students to face without undue trepidation the hazards of their first approach to political science. Here is one part at least of the fruit of my experience with them. This book has been divided in three parts. Part One deals with HISTORICAL APPROACH which contains– 1. The Meaning of Political Constitutionalism, and 2. The Origin and Growth of the constitutional state. Part Two deals with COMPARATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL POLITICS which contains– 3. Classification of Constitutions, 4. The Unitary State, 5. The Federal State, 6. The Flexible Constitution , 7. The Rigid Constitution, 8. The Legislature : (I) Suffrage and Constituencies, 9. The Legislature: (II) Second Chambers, 10. The Legislature : (III) Direct Popular Checks, 11. The Parliamentary Executive, 12. The Non-Parliamentary Executive, 13. The Judiciary. Part Three deals with NATIONALISM AND INTERNATIONALISM which contains – 14. Emergent Nationalism, 15. Economic Organisation, National and International 16. The Charter of the United Nations, and 17. The Outlook for Constitutionalism.
