Home » Constitutions and Constitution Making Elsewhere
Foreign Experience
There are 192 member states of the United Nations. Some of these are dictatorships of one sort or another and if they have constitutions these are largely worthless. A few have no written constitution (which means that they do have laws about how government is formed and so on, but they do not have one document, and some of their rules are a matter of convention rather than of law). These countries are, notably, Israel, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. (Israel does have some major laws regulating important aspects of government, and the Knesset (Parliament) is currently going through an exercise designed to produce a written constitution for the country).
In this section of the website you can read something about the constitutions of other countries, and also find the text of some other constitutions, or links to website with those texts. And you can also read about constitution making processes in some other countries.
