Comparative constitutional law

  1. What are the legal-political origins of the current constitution and how is the exercise public power legitimized (who is its ultimate source of power)? Alongside other discussed readings (Sieyes, Rosenfeld & Sajo, Colomer, Ginsburg & Dixon, etc.), apply Ackerman’s three pathways to constitutionalism to define which one was taken – revolutionary, evolutionary, or elite-construction.
  2. When reading your constitution and constitutional practice, who is the guardian of the constitution if any (apply the Kelsen-Schmitt debate in particular)?
  3. How does the constitution regulate the relationship between Islam/Islamic law and human rights (see in particular Hirschl)?
