ConstitutionMaking Archives

The following “option reports” were originally published on ConstitutionMaking, the CCP’s precursor to Constitute, which featured constitutional texts, reports, and a blog. The blog subsequently became the official blog of the International Journal of Constitutional Law, I-CONnect. We provide the reports below for archival purposes, but we do not regularly update them.
