The Comparative Constitutions Project has recently launched a new and improved website. Visit http://comparativeconstitutionsproject.org/ to check it out.
The CCP provides systematic data to comparative legal scholars and other social scientists investigating the origins and consequences of constitutional design choices. These research questions are also of direct relevance to those revising constitutions, who often lack even the most basic information about constitutional provisions in other countries, past and present. The Project hopes that analysis of - and insights from - its data will promote peace, justice, and human development.
Since the project’s launch in 2005, the CCP has collected and analyzed thousands of constitutional texts and made that data publicly available. In 2013, they partnered with Google Ideas to make those texts accessible. Together, they built and launched Constitute, a website that contains a richly indexed set of texts for nearly every national constitution in the world.
