"The book... is a successful introduction to the central questions [of constitutional law]. It provides intellectual roadmaps as well as explicit encouragement along the way to scholars who might wish to engage in this field of enquiry. It incorporates useful methodological discussions of philosophical, legal, and comparative common-law jurisdictions." - Tarik Olcay, The Cambridge Law Journal

"This is a wonderful collection of unfailingly engaging and interesting essays, virtually every one of them making a substantial contribution to the subject matter it discusses. The book will serve as a landmark in modern constitutional theory and its influence will inevitably reach far into the future and wide into legal systems of the world." - Pavlos Eleftheriadis, The Modern Law Review
