Features: This book is a comparative study of the constitutions of the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, and contemporary China. Considering the fundamental differences between the Chinese Constitution and the constitutions of the other seven countries in terms of social systems and guiding principles, China is discussed last. Among the seven countries, the U.S. Constitution is the primary focus of study. In addition to the preface (including introduction and the first implemented systems and features in the eight constitutions), the book is divided into four parts: Human Rights and Basic Civil Rights; State System and State Organs; Other Political Systems; and the Formulation and Implementation of the Constitution. The book also includes five related articles as appendices.
