Professor van Caenegem's new book addresses fundamental questions of constitutional organization-democracy versus autocracy, unitary versus federal organization, pluralism versus intolerance-by analyzing different models of constitutional government through a historical perspective. The approach is chronological: constitutionalism is explained as the result of many centuries of trial and error through a narrative that begins in the early Middle Ages and concludes with contemporary debates, focusing on Europe, the United States, and the Soviet Union. | An Historical Introduction to Western Constitutional Law by R.
