  • Summary

    This chapter serves two purposes: it draws a number of conclusions from the previous chapters as well as pointing out a number of questions that deserve more attention. Among these are the relevance of rules for both choosing and amending constitutions. Another issue deals with the question why some constitutions are being complied with most of the time, whereas others seem to be pieces of prose not having much constraining effects on the governing. The last section deals with the relevance of emergency constitutions, i.e., those constitutionalized rules that deal with the conditions under which governments can declare a state of emergency and the extra competences that such declarations come with.
