It's amazing how many constitutions of countries, autonomous regions, states, and provinces, etc., are on the Web.
Here are some examples of constitutions to study before we start to work on a new constitution. 1. Spain: http://www.oefre.unibe.ch/law/icl/sp00000_.html Spain has 17 autonomous areas within the Federation. This is the Constitution from 1978. 1a. Basque Country: http://www.nuevoestatutodeeuskadi.net/docs/state_of_autonomy.pdf The Basques have been demanding independence for many years. This is the 1979 Autonomy Statute. 2. The US Constitution (1776): http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html Massachusetts (1780): http://www.mass.gov/legis/const.htm 2a. Virginia Constitution (1776) : http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/states/va05.htm 2b. Pennsylvania Constitution: The Constitution was first accepted in 1776, but was substantially changed in 1790, 1838, 1874 and 1968 http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Constitution.html http://www.paconstitution.duq.edu/ 3. Constitution of Australia (1900/1901): http://www.statusquo.org/constitution/constitution_index.htm 4. Constitution of East Timor (2002): http://www.constitution.org/cons/east_timor/constitution-eng.htm 5. Constitution of Switzerland (1874): http://www.thisnation.com/library/switzerland.html 6. Constitution of Norway (1814): http://www.helplinelaw.com/law/norway/constitution/norway.php 7. Constitution of Sweden (adopted 1975): http://www.oefre.unibe.ch/law/icl/sw00000_.html 8. Constitutional Acts of Canada (1867, 1982): http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/const/ Maybe, we can briefly look at these and others, to get a feel for what a constitution should look like. It makes sense to create a bibliography for the project as well.
