Sources of Constitutional Law: Selected Provisions from Constitutions and Fundamental Legislations of the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlans and the United Kingdom

This volume contains a selection of important constitutional and legislative provisions from the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as well as selected provisions from the European Convention on Human Rights. It will help students and scholars of comparative constitutional law to work with foreign written sources. All provisions are reproduced in the original English or are freshly translated into English. Unlike many other translations, this volume remains true to the content, style and syntax of the original texts. This allows the reader to appreciate not only the substance but also the authentic form – and the beauty of old-fashioned or cryptic language – of constitutional sources.This volume partly reproduces the content of The Maastricht Collection, a larger compilation of legal provisions covering both public and private law, which is also published by Europa Law Publishing.
