The Story of Constitutions : Discovering the We in Us

Omtale

Wim Voermans traces the surprising story of constitutions since the agricultural revolution of c.10,000 B.C. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, Voermans shows how human evolution, human nature and the history of thought have all played their part in shaping modern constitutions, and how, in turn, constitutions have shaped our societies.
