Features: This book was written in 1951 and has been revised and reprinted multiple times. By 1980, its second edition had been printed five times, becoming a must-read for constitutional research in many universities around the world. The author's writing is concise, straightforward, and forceful, with a wealth of information. The dichotomy of constitutional concepts and the distinction between customs and conventions proposed in this work are widely recognized as the fundamental starting points of constitutional law. What makes it even more valuable is that it is a foundational work on constitutional theory, dividing the basic issues of constitutional law into six categories (constitutional concept, constitutional classification, constitutional content, constitutional authority, constitutional change, and constitution and constitutionalism), discussing each in turn, and making outstanding contributions in every field. The arguments in this work are still frequently cited by constitutional scholars around the world. The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Political Thought and the Blackwell Encyclopedia of Political Systems also list Modern Constitutions as the primary reference under the entries for constitution and constitutionalism.
