Description: The Constitution of Freedom by Andras Sajo, Renata Uitz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Informed by a life lived under the oppressions of communism, ECtHR Judge András Sajó examines the fundamentals of constitutional systems of government, protection from tyranny, and promotion of freedom in this timely and important book. Publisher Description Constitutional democracy is more fragile and less natural than autocracy. While this may sound surprising to complacent democrats, more and more people find autocracy attractive, because they were never forced to understand or imagine what despotism is. Generations who have lived in stable democracies with the promise that their enviable world will become the global normal find government rule without constitutionalism difficult to conceive. It is difficult, butnever too late, to see ones own constitutional system as something that is fragile, or up for grabs and in need of constant attention and care. In this book, András Sajó and Renáta Uitz explore howconstitutionalism protects us and how it might be undone by its own means. Sajó and Uitzs intellectual history of the constitutional ideal is rich in contextual detail and informed by case studies that give an overview of both the theory and practice of constitutionalism worldwide. Classic constitutions are contrasted with twentieth-century and contemporary endeavours, and experimentations in checks and balances. Their endeavour is neither apologetic (and certainlynot celebratory), nor purely defensive: this book demonstrates why constitutionalism should continue to matter. Between the rise of populist, anti-constitutional sentiment and the normalization of theapparatus of counter-terrorism, it is imperative that the political communities who seek to sustain democracy as freedom understand the importance of constitutionalism. This book is essential reading for students of law and general readers without prior knowledge of the field, as well as those in politics who believe they know how government works. It shows what is at stake in the debate on constitutionalism. Author Biography András Sajó is a judge (2008) and past vice-president (2015-2017) of the European Court of Human Rights.
